8 1/3 divided by 5 is 1 2/3

8 1/3 / 5
First, you turn 8 1/3 into a mixed number.
25/3 / 5
Next, you do the reciprocal for the second number while changing the division sign into a multiplication one.
25/3 * 1/5
Then cross simplify.
25/3 * 1/5 =
5/3 * 1/1 =
Finally you multiply straight across and simplify.
5/3 * 1/1 = 5/3 = 1 2/3

Hoped this helped!
