What's 84 times 78 divided by 7

We are given what is called a fraction.
A fraction has two things: a numerator and a denominator.

A fraction is written like this:

(1)/(2)

The numerator is on top, and the denominator is on bottom.
In this case, 1 is the numerator and 2 is the denominator.

In your question, instead of 1, we have "84 x 78" for the numerator and "7" for the denominator.

Don't panic!

We can use a calculator here(or if you're really up for a challenge do it by hand) to calculate 84 multiplied by 78 first.

Then, you divide the answer of "84 x 78", 6552, by 7.

Use a calculator if you must(or challenge yourself!).

The answer is 936.
