Rewrite as multiplication: Rewrite the division as a multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the divisor. So, (17u2v/18u2v2)÷7v=(17u2v/18u2v2)×(1/7v).
Multiply numerators and denominators: Multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators. So, (18u2v217u2v)×(7v1)=18u2v2×7v17u2v×1.
Simplify by canceling common factors: Simplify the expression by canceling out common factors. u2 cancels out, and v cancels out once because v2 is v∗v. So, (17u2v×1)/(18u2v2×7v)=(17)/(18v×7).
Multiply denominators: Multiply the denominators. So, 18v×7=126v.
Write in simplest form: Write the answer in the simplest form. So, (17)/(18v×7)=17/126v.
