Steps to divide 10 by 10/3

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, so 10 ÷ 10/3 is solved by turning the divisor upside down and multiplying. Here is every step.

Step 1: Write both numbers as fractions

A whole number is written over 1, and a mixed number becomes an improper fraction: multiply the whole part by the denominator and add the numerator.

10 = 10/1

Step 2: Flip the divisor

The reciprocal of 10/3 is 3/10, because a fraction and its reciprocal multiply to 1. Division by 10/3 therefore becomes multiplication by 3/10.

10/1 ÷ 10/3 = 10/1 × 3/10

Step 3: Multiply across

Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

10/1 × 3/10

=

(10 × 3)/(1 × 10)

=

30/10

Step 4: Reduce the fraction

The greatest common factor of 30 and 10 is 10, so divide both parts by it.

30/10

=

3

This calculator divides one fraction by another and shows the whole solution, not just the answer. Mixed numbers and whole numbers are accepted on both sides, so you can divide 2 3/4 by 2/3 just as easily as 1/2 by 4.

For example, it can help you find out what is 10 divided by 10/3? (The answer is: 3).

Enter the dividend on the left and the divisor on the right (for example '10' and '10/3'), then press the button.

The result is given as a fraction in its lowest terms, as a mixed number when it is greater than one, and as a decimal — with an approximation sign whenever the decimal never ends.

Every page also shows why the method works: dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, so the divisor is flipped and the two fractions are multiplied.
