To divide the fraction 2/7 by 6, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Invert the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 6 is 1/6.
So, 2/7 divided by 6 becomes 2/7 multiplied by 1/6.
Step 2: Multiply the fractions.
When multiplying fractions, multiply the numerators (the top numbers) together, and multiply the denominators (the bottom numbers) together.
Multiplying 2/7 and 1/6 gives (2*1)/(7*6) = 2/42.
Step 3: Reduce (simplify) the fraction, if necessary.
In this case, 2/42 can be simplified further. Both the numerator (2) and the denominator (42) share a common factor of 2. By dividing both numbers by 2, we get 1/21.
So, 2/7 divided by 6 equals 1/21.
