What is 17/28 Divided By 2/1

Solving $\frac{17}{28}\div\frac{2}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{17}{28} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{17}{28} \times \frac{1}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $17 \times 1 = 17$
• Multiply the Denominators: $28 \times 2 = 56$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{17}{28} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{17}{56}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{17}{56}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $17$ and $56$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{17}{28}\div\frac{2}{1} = \frac{17}{56}$
