What is 53/72 Divided By 7/1

Solving $\frac{53}{72}\div\frac{7}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{53}{72} \div \frac{7}{1} = \frac{53}{72} \times \frac{1}{7}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $53 \times 1 = 53$
• Multiply the Denominators: $72 \times 7 = 504$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{53}{72} \times \frac{7}{1} = \frac{53}{504}$
