The problem you're asking us to solve is: What is 1/7 Divided by 53? This involves two operations, division by a whole number and division by a fraction. Let's walk through each step of the calculation to fully understand the process.
Lets break down the initial numbers:
Dividend numerator: 1
Dividend denominator: 7
Divisor: 53
This is in the format 1/7 divided by 53.
We'll break it down in the following steps:
First, set up the problem as such:
\(\frac{1}{7}\div 53 \, or \, \frac{1}{7}\cdot \frac{1}{53}\)
In the first step, multiply the denominator of the fraction with the whole divisor, which gives: 7 * 53 = 371
Now, this forms the denominator of our new fraction and the numerator is still 1. Therefore the fraction we have as a result is 1/371.
Improper fractions are simplified by taking the numerator as the whole number. But this fraction, 1/371, is a proper fraction and does not need to be simplified. So, 1 divided by 7/53 equals 1/371.
