How To: Solve inequalities by multiplying or dividing

In this tutorial, we learn how to solve inequalities by multiplying or dividing. Start out with your equation written out in front of you. Now, find the variable in the equation and figure out how to get rid of the denominator underneath it. Divide this on both sides, then you will be left with the variable with the inequality. Don't flip the inequality if you don't divide by a negative on both sides. Then, write out the rest of the equation. Once finished, do the rest of the math for the rig...

How To: Multiply and divide fractions with Mr Binkley

In this tutorial the author Binkley shows how to multiply and divide fractions. He says that the first thing to remember before multiplying and dividing fractions is to first check if all the numbers are in the fraction form. Now in the second step if its multiplication we can directly multiply the fractions, but in step three if its a division we need to multiply the reciprocal of the second number to the first number to obtain the result. He further shows how to solve a couple of examples. ...

How To: Divide similar radicals

While dividing the radicals, the numerator and the denominator must be combined into a single term, for example if we want to divide square root of 3 by square root of seven we need to combine the numerator and denominator into a single factor that is square root of 3/7, then we can divide 3/7 which is 0.4285, and square root of 0.4285 is 0.654 which is the final answer.

How To: Multiply & divide fractions & mixed numbers

In this tutorial, we learn how to multiply & divide fractions & mixed numbers. When multiplying and dividing fractions you don't need a common number, you just multiply straight across. When dividing, you simply flip the second fraction over and multiply straight across like normal. When multiplying a whole number and mixed number, simply put the whole number over one. Then, convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. Then, multiply the mixed number with the numerator and add in the d...

How To: Divide decimals with Mr Binkley

This video is provided by Mr. Binley. Let's learn this with an example, let's say that we want to divide 0.492 by 0.4, the most important thing remember while dividing the decimal numbers is that we need to convert the divisor into a whole number, here we need to convert 0.4 into a whole number. To do this we need to move the decimal to the right, then 0.4 becomes 4, now do the same thing to the dividend (0.492), move the decimal to the same location that we followed while moving the decimal ...

How To: Divide bigger numbers

In this video, we learn how to divide bigger numbers. As an example, let's say you were dividing 843 by 13. To make this easier, write down the times tables for 13 down and keep adding up. After you do this, see how many times 13 goes into 84. Your table will tell you how many times it goes into the larger number. Thirteen will go into 84 six times, so write six on the top line above the four, then subtract 78 from 84 and write a 6 next to the 4. Now, work out the remainder and when finished,...

How To: Understand why you cannot divide by zero

This video discusses the number zero in division. When dividing numbers, there are ways to check your math, like multiplying the two numbers. When you multiply zero with any other number, it still is zero. The video goes on to discuss indeterminate answers. If you were to divide a zero by a zero, your calculator would come up with an error message. But there are real results to these odd equations and they are indeterminate. The indeterminate doesn’t really show up in everyday living, but in ...

How To: Divide decimals

Here we are, learning how to divide decimals. So we are dividing a whole number or a fraction by a fraction. How this presenter does this is by moving the decimal two places to the right on both the top and bottom of the sum. In other words, he multiplies the two numbers by 100. So 2 becomes 200 and .25 becomes 25. So much easier to divide 200 by 25 than to divide 2 by .25. Provided you've multiplied both the top and bottom by the same amount, the result will be the same, because the relative...

How To: Divide integers

This short video shows basic math integer division. It shows examples of how dividing a positive integer with another positive integer will yield a positive result, whereas diving a negative integer with a positive integer will yield a negative result. This exemplifies the fact that when the signs are different in division, the result will always be negative. This video can definitely help young math students get a better grip of basic integer division and thus have a stronger footing from wh...

How To: Divide a decimal number by a whole number

How do you divide a decimal number by a whole number? It seems complicated but it really isn't when you get down to it. To divide a decimal number by a whole number you have to start off by dividing it as if it were any other number. Take for example 13.5 divided by three. If the number had been 135 instead of 13.5 the answer simply would've been 45 but as there is a decimal at work here, we will adjust the answer accordingly. Place the decimal in the middle to give the correct answer which i...

How To: Multiply and divide fractions in math

One can learn, from watching this video, how to multiply and divide fractions. Prof. Alexander gives a discourse on multiplication and division of fractions in a simple, easy way. For multiplication, one should first look for highest common factor in the numerator of one fraction and the denominator of the other, and vice versa, and if found, carry out the reduction by that factor. Then the numerator of one fraction is multiplied by that of the other fraction, the same operation is carried ou...

How To: Divide and reduce fractions

This is a tutorial on the basics of dividing fractions. The process the video teaches are linear equations where one fraction is divided next to another with a division sign in between. The top numbers are divided and then the bottom and thereby you get the answer. However not all numbers are divisible. When this happens the video teaches the method of multiplicative inverse whereby the divider fraction is flipped upside down which then changes the problem to one of multiplication--think of t...

How To: Divide fractions by "flipping & dipping"

The instructor in this video gives a tutorial on how to divide fractions by "flipping & dipping" method. He says that to divide two fractions we need to follow two steps of flipping and dipping. He says to write the first fraction as it self and flip the second fraction and write it beside. Now he says that instead of dividing we are dipping and multiplying both the fractions which results in the division of the original fractions. Now after multiplying the fractions we get a fraction which c...

How To: Divide larger numbers and do long division

This is video for how to divide large numbers by doing long division with easy methods. This video describes that dividing the "Dividend" with "Divisor" to get the "Quotient" and "Remainder" if they exist. In the given example first "25" taken as the Dividend and "5" is will be the Divisor. Divide this value the multiplication is needed. For above example "5*5=25" is the result so, the "Quotient" is "5".If the value is large for example "506" of dividend and "8" of divisor means, first we sho...

How To: Divide numbers using long division

This video focuses on how to do long division. She starts by dividing 1548 by 26, going incrementally between each value. She first take 26 into the first three numbers of 1548 (154) and gets 5, then takes the remainder of 24 (154-130) and brings down the 8 to get 248. She then divides 248 by 26 to get 9 with a remainder of 14. She then goes into some detail as to how to extract the decimal from the remainder by continuing the long division and adding zeros to the end of the divisor. At the e...

How To: Multiply & Divide Numbers (Basic Elementary Math)

Adding and subtracting may be the easiest of mathematical operations, but once you get it down, multiplication and division can be just as easy. That's why it's called elementary arithmetic. If it were harder, it would be called college algebra or trigonometry. But it's not— it's basic math, and once you get your head around the numbers, you'll never hate math class again! (Okay, maybe you will.)
