What is 52/83 Divided By 3/1

Solving $\frac{52}{83}\div\frac{3}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{52}{83} \div \frac{3}{1} = \frac{52}{83} \times \frac{1}{3}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $52 \times 1 = 52$
• Multiply the Denominators: $83 \times 3 = 249$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{52}{83} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{52}{249}$
