What is 11/42 Divided By 5/1

Solving $\frac{11}{42}\div\frac{5}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{11}{42} \div \frac{5}{1} = \frac{11}{42} \times \frac{1}{5}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $11 \times 1 = 11$
• Multiply the Denominators: $42 \times 5 = 210$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{11}{42} \times \frac{5}{1} = \frac{11}{210}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{11}{210}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $11$ and $210$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{11}{42}\div\frac{5}{1} = \frac{11}{210}$
