What is a fraction?

A fraction is a fragment of a whole number, used to define parts of a whole. The whole can be a whole object, or many different objects. The number at the top of the line is called the numerator, whereas the bottom is called the denominator.

First, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 1000.

`(1.942)/(9.43)` × 1000 =
`(1942)/(9430)`

Now, reduce the fraction to lowest terms. (Extract and cancel out 2.)

`(971)/(4715)`

Convert to decimal.

`(971)/(4715)` ≈ 0.205938494

Round to 4 decimal places.

0.2060

Therefore, 1.942 ÷ 9.53 = 0.2060
