Treat 117 as a fraction by using 1 as the denominator and set up the problem as 1/3 x 117/1. Multiply the two numerators (top numbers) and the product will be the new numerator (1 x 117 = 117), Do the same for the two denominators (3 x 1 = 3) and form the new fraction 117/3. The next step is to divide the numerator by the denominator to get the answer: 117/3 = 39.
