What is 70/53 Divided By 1/2

Solving $\frac{70}{53}\div\frac{1}{2}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{70}{53} \div \frac{1}{2} = \frac{70}{53} \times \frac{2}{1}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $70 \times 2 = 140$
• Multiply the Denominators: $53 \times 1 = 53$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{70}{53} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{140}{53}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{140}{53}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $140$ and $53$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.
