Simplify x/3*1/(4x^2)

$\frac{x}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{4 x^{2}}$

Step 1

Combine.

$\frac{x \cdot 1}{3 (4 x^{2})}$

Step 2

Cancel the common factor of $x$ and $x^{2}$ .

Factor $x$ out of $x \cdot 1$ .

$\frac{x (1)}{3 (4 x^{2})}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $x$ out of $3 (4 x^{2})$ .

$\frac{x (1)}{x (3 (4 x))}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{x \cdot 1}{x (3 (4 x))}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{1}{3 (4 x)}$

$\frac{1}{3 (4 x)}$

$\frac{1}{3 (4 x)}$

Step 3

Multiply $3$ by $4$ .

$\frac{1}{12 x}$
