What is 61/19 Divided By 2/1

Solving $\frac{61}{19}\div\frac{2}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{61}{19} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{61}{19} \times \frac{1}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $61 \times 1 = 61$
• Multiply the Denominators: $19 \times 2 = 38$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{61}{19} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{61}{38}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{61}{38}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $61$ and $38$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{61}{19}\div\frac{2}{1} = \frac{61}{38}$
