What is 17/50 Divided By 4/1

Solving $\frac{17}{50}\div\frac{4}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{17}{50} \div \frac{4}{1} = \frac{17}{50} \times \frac{1}{4}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $17 \times 1 = 17$
• Multiply the Denominators: $50 \times 4 = 200$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{17}{50} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{17}{200}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{17}{200}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $17$ and $200$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{17}{50}\div\frac{4}{1} = \frac{17}{200}$
