561266\mathbf{\frac{561}{266}}

Step-by-step solution

5 steps

To simplify the given expression, we will first simplify the numerator and the denominator separately, then divide the simplified numerator by the simplified denominator.

The expression is:

5−27613÷256\frac{5 - \frac{2}{7}}{6 \frac{1}{3} \div 2 \frac{5}{6}}
  1. Simplify the numerator.

    5−27=5×77−27=357−27=35−27=3375 - \frac{2}{7} = \frac{5 \times 7}{7} - \frac{2}{7} = \frac{35}{7} - \frac{2}{7} = \frac{35 - 2}{7} = \frac{33}{7}
  2. Convert the mixed numbers in the denominator to improper fractions.

    613=(6×3)+13=18+13=1936 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{(6 \times 3) + 1}{3} = \frac{18 + 1}{3} = \frac{19}{3} 256=(2×6)+56=12+56=1762 \frac{5}{6} = \frac{(2 \times 6) + 5}{6} = \frac{12 + 5}{6} = \frac{17}{6}
  3. Perform the division in the denominator.

    193÷176=193×617\frac{19}{3} \div \frac{17}{6} = \frac{19}{3} \times \frac{6}{17} =19×63×17=19×(3×2)3×17= \frac{19 \times 6}{3 \times 17} = \frac{19 \times (3 \times 2)}{3 \times 17}

    Cancel out the common factor of 3:

    =19×217=3817= \frac{19 \times 2}{17} = \frac{38}{17}
  4. Divide the simplified numerator by the simplified denominator.

    The expression now becomes:

    3373817=337÷3817\frac{\frac{33}{7}}{\frac{38}{17}} = \frac{33}{7} \div \frac{38}{17}

    To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal:

    =337×1738= \frac{33}{7} \times \frac{17}{38}
  5. Multiply the fractions to get the final result.

    =33×177×38=561266= \frac{33 \times 17}{7 \times 38} = \frac{561}{266}

    The fraction 561266\frac{561}{266} cannot be simplified further as there are no common factors between the numerator and the denominator.
