What is 27/43 Divided By 2/1

Solving $\frac{27}{43}\div\frac{2}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{27}{43} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{27}{43} \times \frac{1}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $27 \times 1 = 27$
• Multiply the Denominators: $43 \times 2 = 86$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{27}{43} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{27}{86}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{27}{86}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $27$ and $86$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{27}{43}\div\frac{2}{1} = \frac{27}{86}$
