You can put this solution on YOUR website! It's easier to do this with decimals.
5.2 / 17.3 = .300578
.
But if you want to do it fraction-wise, convert the mixed numbers to fractions
26/5 divided by 173/10.
To divide, multiply by the reciprocal (turn the second fraction upside down)
26*10 over 5*173
260/865
reduce by 5s
52/173
