What is 42/11 Divided By 1/8

Solving $\frac{42}{11}\div\frac{1}{8}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{42}{11} \div \frac{1}{8} = \frac{42}{11} \times \frac{8}{1}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $42 \times 8 = 336$
• Multiply the Denominators: $11 \times 1 = 11$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{42}{11} \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{336}{11}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{336}{11}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $336$ and $11$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{42}{11}\div\frac{1}{8} = \frac{336}{11}$
