Q. Divide. Write the quotient in lowest terms.432÷7=
Rewrite division as multiplication: Rewrite the division as a multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the divisor. So, (4(2)/3)÷7 becomes (4(2)/3)×(1/7).
Multiply numerators and denominators: Multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators. So, (34×2)×(71) becomes (3×74×2).
Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication in the numerator and the denominator. So, (4×2)/(3×7) becomes 8/21.
Check for further simplification: Check if the fraction can be simplified further. Since 8 and 21 have no common factors other than 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
