What is 85/12 Divided By 7/1

Solving $\frac{85}{12}\div\frac{7}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{85}{12} \div \frac{7}{1} = \frac{85}{12} \times \frac{1}{7}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $85 \times 1 = 85$
• Multiply the Denominators: $12 \times 7 = 84$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{85}{12} \times \frac{7}{1} = \frac{85}{84}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{85}{84}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $85$ and $84$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{85}{12}\div\frac{7}{1} = \frac{85}{84}$
