What is 53/12 Divided By 2/7

Solving $\frac{53}{12}\div\frac{2}{7}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{53}{12} \div \frac{2}{7} = \frac{53}{12} \times \frac{7}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $53 \times 7 = 371$
• Multiply the Denominators: $12 \times 2 = 24$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{53}{12} \times \frac{2}{7} = \frac{371}{24}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{371}{24}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $371$ and $24$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{53}{12}\div\frac{2}{7} = \frac{371}{24}$
