What is 17/60 Divided By 7/1

Solving $\frac{17}{60}\div\frac{7}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{17}{60} \div \frac{7}{1} = \frac{17}{60} \times \frac{1}{7}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $17 \times 1 = 17$
• Multiply the Denominators: $60 \times 7 = 420$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{17}{60} \times \frac{7}{1} = \frac{17}{420}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{17}{420}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $17$ and $420$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{17}{60}\div\frac{7}{1} = \frac{17}{420}$
