What is 17/70 Divided By 2/1

Solving $\frac{17}{70}\div\frac{2}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{17}{70} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{17}{70} \times \frac{1}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $17 \times 1 = 17$
• Multiply the Denominators: $70 \times 2 = 140$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{17}{70} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{17}{140}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{17}{140}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $17$ and $140$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{17}{70}\div\frac{2}{1} = \frac{17}{140}$
