Q. Divide. Write the quotient in lowest terms.\newline523÷4= 5 \frac{2}{3} \div 4=
  1. Write division as fraction: Write the division as a fraction. 5(2)3÷4\frac{5(2)}{3} \div 4 can be written as 5(2)34\frac{\frac{5(2)}{3}}{4}.
  2. Convert mixed number to improper fraction: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. 5(23)5\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) is the same as (5×3+2)/3\left(5 \times 3 + 2\right)/3, which equals (15+2)/3(15 + 2)/3 or 173\frac{17}{3}.
  3. Rewrite division as multiplication by reciprocal: Rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal of 44.\newline(173)÷4\left(\frac{17}{3}\right) \div 4 is the same as (173)×(14)\left(\frac{17}{3}\right) \times \left(\frac{1}{4}\right).
  4. Multiply numerators and denominators: Multiply the numerators and denominators.\newline(17×1)/(3×4)(17 \times 1) / (3 \times 4) equals 17/1217/12.
  5. Simplify fraction if possible: Simplify the fraction if possible. 1712\frac{17}{12} is already in its lowest terms because 1717 and 1212 have no common factors other than 11.
