What is 72/11 Divided By 7/2

Solving $\frac{72}{11}\div\frac{7}{2}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{72}{11} \div \frac{7}{2} = \frac{72}{11} \times \frac{2}{7}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $72 \times 2 = 144$
• Multiply the Denominators: $11 \times 7 = 77$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{72}{11} \times \frac{7}{2} = \frac{144}{77}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{144}{77}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $144$ and $77$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{72}{11}\div\frac{7}{2} = \frac{144}{77}$
