What is 4/4 of 38?

How to calculate 4/4 of 38?

1. Multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction: 38 × 4 = 152
2. Divide this result by denominator of the fraction: 152/4 = 38
3. Simplify by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their GCD (4):
   • 152/4 = 38
   • 4/4 = 1
4. Which gives: 38/1

How does it work?

The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 4/4 of 38, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: $\frac{4}{4}=\frac{x}{38}$ (where x represents 4/4 of 38)

1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: $4\times 38=4x$
2. Which gives: $152=4x$
3. Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x: $\frac{152}{4}=\frac{4x}{4}$
4. Which gives the result: $\frac{152}{4}=x$ (or $\frac{38}{1}=x$)

Thus, 4/4 of 38 is equal to 38/1 (or 38 in its decimal form).
