What is 33/17 Divided By 2/1

Solving $\frac{33}{17}\div\frac{2}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{33}{17} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{33}{17} \times \frac{1}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $33 \times 1 = 33$
• Multiply the Denominators: $17 \times 2 = 34$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{33}{17} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{33}{34}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{33}{34}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $33$ and $34$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{33}{17}\div\frac{2}{1} = \frac{33}{34}$
