Hello there! 1/7 divided by 1/7 results in 1. Using the formula of:

Skip, Flip, multiply

We can solve accordingly:

We skip the first fraction, according to the formula. Then, we can move onto our next step:

In this step, we flip the second fraction:

• 1/7 becomes 7/1

Now, we can simplify the expression:

1/7 x 7/1 = our answer

By multiplying numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator, we will calculate that:

1/7 x 7/1 = 7/7

Because 7/7 is a whole, it becomes an improper fraction and can be reduced to one whole.

Your final answer: 1/7 divided by 1/7 equals 1. If you need any help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
