Solution Steps

To solve the division of two fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. This means we flip the numerator and the denominator of the second fraction and then multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

Step 1: Understand the Problem

We need to divide two fractions: \(\frac{37}{28}\) and \(\frac{5}{3}\).

Step 2: Convert Division to Multiplication

To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal. Therefore, we convert the division \(\frac{37}{28} \div \frac{5}{3}\) into multiplication: \[ \frac{37}{28} \times \frac{3}{5} \]

Step 3: Multiply the Fractions

Multiply the numerators and the denominators: \[ \frac{37 \times 3}{28 \times 5} = \frac{111}{140} \]

Step 4: Simplify the Result

The fraction \(\frac{111}{140}\) is already in its simplest form, as 111 and 140 have no common factors other than 1.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\frac{111}{140}}\)
