What is 10/1 of 63?

Often, in mathematics or everyday life, we need to find a fraction of a given number. For instance, how would you quickly calculate 10/1 of 63? We'll show you a straightforward method to achieve that.

How to calculate 10/1 of 63?

  1. Multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction: 63 × 10 = 630
  2. Divide this result by denominator of the fraction: 630/1 = 630

How does it work?

The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 10/1 of 63, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: 10 1 = x 63 (where x represents 10/1 of 63)

  1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: 10 × 63 = 1 x
  2. Which gives: 630 = 1 x
  3. Divide both sides by 1 to isolate x: 630 1 = 1 x 1
  4. Which gives the result: 630 1 = x

Thus, 10/1 of 63 is equal to 630/1 (or 630 in its decimal form).
