What is 46/17 Divided By 5/2

Solving $\frac{46}{17}\div\frac{5}{2}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{46}{17} \div \frac{5}{2} = \frac{46}{17} \times \frac{2}{5}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $46 \times 2 = 92$
• Multiply the Denominators: $17 \times 5 = 85$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{46}{17} \times \frac{5}{2} = \frac{92}{85}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{92}{85}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $92$ and $85$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{46}{17}\div\frac{5}{2} = \frac{92}{85}$
