What is 43/42 Divided By 2/1

Solving $\frac{43}{42}\div\frac{2}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{43}{42} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{43}{42} \times \frac{1}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $43 \times 1 = 43$
• Multiply the Denominators: $42 \times 2 = 84$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{43}{42} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{43}{84}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{43}{84}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $43$ and $84$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{43}{42}\div\frac{2}{1} = \frac{43}{84}$
