What is 12/61 Divided By 1/3

Solving $\frac{12}{61}\div\frac{1}{3}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{12}{61} \div \frac{1}{3} = \frac{12}{61} \times \frac{3}{1}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $12 \times 3 = 36$
• Multiply the Denominators: $61 \times 1 = 61$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{12}{61} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{36}{61}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{36}{61}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $36$ and $61$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{12}{61}\div\frac{1}{3} = \frac{36}{61}$
