To write  14 3/4   as a common fraction:

   --  to get the numerator, multiply 14 x 4 and add 3  -->  56 + 3 = 59

   --  the denominator is 4

 

Therefore,  14 3/4  =  59 / 4

Now:  to divide, multiply by the reciprocal  (the reciprocal of  3  is  1 / 3)

   59 / 4 ÷ 3     --->   59 / 4  x  1 / 3

To solve, multiply the numerators together ( 59 x 1 ) to get 59

and multiply the denominators together (4 x 3 ) to get 12

So, the answer is 59 / 12

To write this answer as a mixed number: Divide  59  by  12  to get a quotient of  4  and a remainder of  11:

4 + 11 / 12
