What should be multiplied with \( 5 \frac{2}{3} \) so that the product is \( 1 ? \)

Express the answer as a fraction in its simplest form.

Given: $5\frac{2}{3}$

To find: Here we have to find the number that should be multiplied with $5\frac{2}{3}$ so that the product is 1.

Solution:

Let the required number = $x$

Now,

$5\frac{2}{3} \ \times \ x\ =\ 1$

$\frac{17}{3} \ \times \ x\ =\ 1$

$\mathbf{x\ =\ \frac{3}{17}}$

So, the answer is $\frac{3}{17}$.
