5/17 dived 5/17
5/17 can be simplified to 1/3.
So, when you divide 1/3 by 5/17, you need to multiply 1/3 by the reciprocal of 5/17.
Reciprocal of 5/17 = 17/5.
Therefore, (1/3)/(5/17) = 1/3 * 17/5.
Multiplying the fractions straight across, we get:
(1 * 17) / (3 * 5) = 17/15.
So, 5/17 divided by 5/17 is equal to 17/15 or 1.1333 recurring (rounded to four decimal places).
To divide fractions, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Invert the divisor (the fraction you want to divide by), which means swapping the numerator and the denominator.
In this case, the divisor is 5/17. So, invert it to get 17/5.
Step 2: Multiply the dividend (the fraction you want to divide) by the inverted divisor.
The dividend is also 5/17. So, multiply 5/17 by 17/5.
Step 3: Simplify the resulting fraction, if needed.
Multiply the numerators (top numbers) together to get the numerator of the final fraction, and multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together to get the denominator of the final fraction.
In this case, 5 * 17 = 85, and 17 * 5 = 85.
Therefore, 5/17 divided by 5/17 is equal to 85/85.
Step 4: Further simplify, if possible.
Both the numerator and denominator of the resulting fraction are equal, so the fraction is equal to 1.
Therefore, 5/17 divided by 5/17 equals 1.
