What is 50/53 Divided By 3/1

Solving $\frac{50}{53}\div\frac{3}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{50}{53} \div \frac{3}{1} = \frac{50}{53} \times \frac{1}{3}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $50 \times 1 = 50$
• Multiply the Denominators: $53 \times 3 = 159$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{50}{53} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{50}{159}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{50}{159}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $50$ and $159$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{50}{53}\div\frac{3}{1} = \frac{50}{159}$
