What is 17/12 Divided By 9/1

Solving $\frac{17}{12}\div\frac{9}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{17}{12} \div \frac{9}{1} = \frac{17}{12} \times \frac{1}{9}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $17 \times 1 = 17$
• Multiply the Denominators: $12 \times 9 = 108$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{17}{12} \times \frac{9}{1} = \frac{17}{108}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{17}{108}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $17$ and $108$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{17}{12}\div\frac{9}{1} = \frac{17}{108}$
