What is 17/60 Divided By 2/7

Solving $\frac{17}{60}\div\frac{2}{7}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{17}{60} \div \frac{2}{7} = \frac{17}{60} \times \frac{7}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $17 \times 7 = 119$
• Multiply the Denominators: $60 \times 2 = 120$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{17}{60} \times \frac{2}{7} = \frac{119}{120}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{119}{120}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $119$ and $120$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{17}{60}\div\frac{2}{7} = \frac{119}{120}$
