You have to divide two fractions:


(2)/(7)/(2)/(7)

When you have to divide two fractions, you have to use the following method.

1) Invert the fraction that is the denominator of the quotient (to determine the reciprocal fraction):


(2)/(7)\to(7)/(2)

2) Multiply the numerator of the division by the reciprocal fraction


(2)/(7)\cdot(7)/(2)=(2\cdot7)/(7\cdot2)=(14)/(14)=1

The result for 2/7÷2/7=1
