(4/7) / (3/7)
Since division can be defined as multiplication by the reciprocal (x/y = x * 1/y), we need to find the reciprocal of 3/7. Reciprocals of simple fractions are easy to find, just swap the numerator and denominator (7/3). Now we can multiply
(4/7) * (7/3)
When multiplying fractions, you multiply numerators and denominators separately, (a/b * c/d = [a*c]/[b*d]), giving you
(7*4) / (7*3)
Now, since a non-zero number divided by itself equals one [a/a = 1, for all a!=0], both multiplication and division by 1 are an identity operation (b*1 = b/1 = b), and reversing that last step ( [ac]/[bd] = a/b * c/d), we'll get...
(7/7) * (4/3)
1 * (4/3) =
4/3
So, the quotient of 4/7 divided by 3/7 is 4/3.

4/7 divided by 3/7 = 4/7 * 7/3 (reciprocate)
= 28/21
= 4/3
4/3 is also equal to 1 1/3 or 1.3333333333333...

4/7 div. 3/7 = 4/7 x 7/3 = 28/21 = 1 1/3

(4/7) / (3/7) = (4/7)(7/3) = 4/3

(4/7)[1/(3/7)]=(4/7)(7/3) since 1/(3/7) = 7/3
so (4)(1/7)(7)(1/3) = (4)(1)(1/3) since (1/7)(7) = 1
Therefore:
(4)(1/3) = 4/3 or 1â
