What is 72/11 Divided By 1/4

Solving $\frac{72}{11}\div\frac{1}{4}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{72}{11} \div \frac{1}{4} = \frac{72}{11} \times \frac{4}{1}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $72 \times 4 = 288$
• Multiply the Denominators: $11 \times 1 = 11$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{72}{11} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{288}{11}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{288}{11}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $288$ and $11$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{72}{11}\div\frac{1}{4} = \frac{288}{11}$
