What is 83/17 Divided By 3/1

Solving $\frac{83}{17}\div\frac{3}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{83}{17} \div \frac{3}{1} = \frac{83}{17} \times \frac{1}{3}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $83 \times 1 = 83$
• Multiply the Denominators: $17 \times 3 = 51$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{83}{17} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{83}{51}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{83}{51}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $83$ and $51$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{83}{17}\div\frac{3}{1} = \frac{83}{51}$
