What is 17/89 Divided By 3/1

Solving $\frac{17}{89}\div\frac{3}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{17}{89} \div \frac{3}{1} = \frac{17}{89} \times \frac{1}{3}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $17 \times 1 = 17$
• Multiply the Denominators: $89 \times 3 = 267$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{17}{89} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{17}{267}$
