What is 61/17 Divided By 4/1

Solving $\frac{61}{17}\div\frac{4}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{61}{17} \div \frac{4}{1} = \frac{61}{17} \times \frac{1}{4}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $61 \times 1 = 61$
• Multiply the Denominators: $17 \times 4 = 68$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{61}{17} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{61}{68}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{61}{68}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $61$ and $68$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{61}{17}\div\frac{4}{1} = \frac{61}{68}$
