What is 17/50 Divided By 8/3

Solving $\frac{17}{50}\div\frac{8}{3}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{17}{50} \div \frac{8}{3} = \frac{17}{50} \times \frac{3}{8}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $17 \times 3 = 51$
• Multiply the Denominators: $50 \times 8 = 400$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{17}{50} \times \frac{8}{3} = \frac{51}{400}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{51}{400}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $51$ and $400$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{17}{50}\div\frac{8}{3} = \frac{51}{400}$
