What is 17/19 Divided By 3/1

Solving $\frac{17}{19}\div\frac{3}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{17}{19} \div \frac{3}{1} = \frac{17}{19} \times \frac{1}{3}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $17 \times 1 = 17$
• Multiply the Denominators: $19 \times 3 = 57$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{17}{19} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{17}{57}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{17}{57}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $17$ and $57$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{17}{19}\div\frac{3}{1} = \frac{17}{57}$
