What is 61/42 Divided By 3/1

Solving $\frac{61}{42}\div\frac{3}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{61}{42} \div \frac{3}{1} = \frac{61}{42} \times \frac{1}{3}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $61 \times 1 = 61$
• Multiply the Denominators: $42 \times 3 = 126$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{61}{42} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{61}{126}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{61}{126}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $61$ and $126$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{61}{42}\div\frac{3}{1} = \frac{61}{126}$
