What is 83/24 Divided By 2/1

Solving $\frac{83}{24}\div\frac{2}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{83}{24} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{83}{24} \times \frac{1}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $83 \times 1 = 83$
• Multiply the Denominators: $24 \times 2 = 48$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{83}{24} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{83}{48}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{83}{48}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $83$ and $48$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{83}{24}\div\frac{2}{1} = \frac{83}{48}$
