What is 12/17 Divided By 1/7

Solving $\frac{12}{17}\div\frac{1}{7}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{12}{17} \div \frac{1}{7} = \frac{12}{17} \times \frac{7}{1}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $12 \times 7 = 84$
• Multiply the Denominators: $17 \times 1 = 17$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{12}{17} \times \frac{1}{7} = \frac{84}{17}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{84}{17}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $84$ and $17$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{12}{17}\div\frac{1}{7} = \frac{84}{17}$
