What is 53/12 Divided By 8/1

Solving $\frac{53}{12}\div\frac{8}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{53}{12} \div \frac{8}{1} = \frac{53}{12} \times \frac{1}{8}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $53 \times 1 = 53$
• Multiply the Denominators: $12 \times 8 = 96$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{53}{12} \times \frac{8}{1} = \frac{53}{96}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{53}{96}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $53$ and $96$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{53}{12}\div\frac{8}{1} = \frac{53}{96}$
