well can any one tell me any short way to divide this expression 1/99999?

Answer 1

Here is a cool trick. When you divide any number(smaller than 9) by 9, or mulitple nines, the answer is a repeating decimal using that very number, following the number of 9's in the divisor.
Example: 1/9= .11111...
2/9= .22222...
2/99 = .02020202...
The more 9's the bigger the repeating sequence.
Your example has 5 9's, so the sequence is 5 spaces, ending with one:
1/99999 = .000010000100001...
(Just following suit):
2/99999 would equal .0000200002...

Answer 2

With all due respect to "Team Teacher," she is wrong in this case. It is true that any number divided by one equals the same number, but one divided by a number is equal to something else. In other words, 2/1=2, but 1/2=0.5. See the difference. The shortest way to divide this is dependent upon your circumstances: if you must do it by hand, well, then i am sorry, but long division is probably the shortest way of doing it. If you can use a calculator, then that is the shortest way to do it.

Answer 3

any number divided by one will remain the same number, so I guess that's the shortest way I know to do it.... 1/99999=99999

Answer 4

long division

just add a bunch of zeros till you find a place for the decimal point

Answer 5

Just use a caculator!
