What is 8 divided by 1,898
Answers
well first take 8 and take the fist 2 numbers witch are 18 and see how many times 8 goes into 18. But 8 does not go into 18 so take the nearest multipul without going over wich is 16. Then figure out what times 8 is 16. 8x2=16 so write on the top 02 and put 18-16 witch is 2 then bring down the 9 witch will be 29 and find out 8x what is 29. but 8 does not go into 29 so find the nearest multipul witch is 24 and find out 8x what is 24. 8x3 is 24 so add a three at the top and put 29-24 witch is 5 and bring down the 8. So how many times does 8 go into 58. 8 cannot go into 58 so find the nearest multipul witch would be 56 and 8x what is 56. 8x7=56 so add a seven at the top and subtract 58-56 witch is 2 so your awnser would be 237 remainder 2.

Simplify negative 3 over 2 / 9 over 6
Answers
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. (flipped version)
6 and 9 are both divisible by 3, so we can simplify 6/9 = 2/3.
We can multiply across right now, but we might as well cross cancel. Look at the numbers diagonal from one another...-3 and 3 are both divisible by 3, so we can change them to -1 and 1...2 and 2 are both divisible by 2, so we can change them to 1 and 1...
Any fraction over 1 can just be expressed as a whole number.
Our final answer...
If you were to multiply across, (maybe you don't like cross cancelling, idk?) you'd get the same answer, of course.
