Let the number should be duvided be X

Given number = 6 2/9

⇛ (6×9+2)/9

⇛ (54+2)/9

⇛ 56/9

On dividing 56/9 by X then the result

= (56/9)/X

= 56/9X

According to the given problem

The result = 4 2/3 = 14/3

⇛ 56/9X = 14/3

⇛ 9X×14 = 56×3

⇛ 9X = 56×3/14

⇛ 9X = 4×3

⇛9X = 12

⇛X = 12/9

=⇛X = 4/3 or 1 1/3

Answer

The required number is 4/3 or 1 1/3

Check

On dividing 6 2/9 by 1 1/3

⇛ 6 2/9 ÷ 1 1/3

⇛ (56/9)÷(4/3)

⇛ (56/9)×(3/4)

⇛ (56×3)/(9×4)

⇛ 14/3

⇛4 2/3

Verified.
