Rewrite as multiplication: Rewrite the division as a multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, (17n2p2/12p)÷(13np) becomes (17n2p2/12p)×(1/13np).
Multiply numerators and denominators: Multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators. So, (17n2p2/12p)×(1/13np) becomes (17n2p2)/(12p×13np).
Simplify by canceling common factors: Simplify the expression by canceling out common factors. In the numerator, we have n2 and p2, and in the denominator, we have n and p, which can be simplified. So, (17n2p2)/(12×13np) simplifies to (17np)/(12×13).
Multiply constants in denominator: Multiply the constants in the denominator. So, (17np)/(12×13) becomes (17np)/(156).
Write in simplest form: Write the answer in the simplest form. The fraction (17np)/(156) is already in its simplest form because 17 and 156 have no common factors other than 1.
