What is 61/24 Divided By 5/1

Solving $\frac{61}{24}\div\frac{5}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{61}{24} \div \frac{5}{1} = \frac{61}{24} \times \frac{1}{5}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $61 \times 1 = 61$
• Multiply the Denominators: $24 \times 5 = 120$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{61}{24} \times \frac{5}{1} = \frac{61}{120}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{61}{120}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $61$ and $120$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{61}{24}\div\frac{5}{1} = \frac{61}{120}$
