1. Problem Description

The problem is to evaluate the expression
527+114×2311438÷116\frac{5\frac{2}{7} + \frac{1}{14} \times \frac{2}{3} - 1\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{3}{8} \div \frac{1}{16}}

2. Solution Steps

First, we evaluate the expression in the numerator.
We can rewrite the mixed numbers as improper fractions:
527=5×7+27=35+27=3775\frac{2}{7} = \frac{5 \times 7 + 2}{7} = \frac{35 + 2}{7} = \frac{37}{7}
114=1×4+14=4+14=541\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{4 + 1}{4} = \frac{5}{4}
The expression in the numerator is
377+114×2354\frac{37}{7} + \frac{1}{14} \times \frac{2}{3} - \frac{5}{4}
=377+24254= \frac{37}{7} + \frac{2}{42} - \frac{5}{4}
=377+12154= \frac{37}{7} + \frac{1}{21} - \frac{5}{4}
We need to find the least common multiple of 7, 21, and 4, which is
8

4. $\frac{37}{7} \times \frac{12}{12} + \frac{1}{21} \times \frac{4}{4} - \frac{5}{4} \times \frac{21}{21}$

=44484+48410584= \frac{444}{84} + \frac{4}{84} - \frac{105}{84}
=444+410584=34384= \frac{444 + 4 - 105}{84} = \frac{343}{84}
Now, we evaluate the expression in the denominator.
38÷116=38×161=3×168×1=488=6\frac{3}{8} \div \frac{1}{16} = \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{16}{1} = \frac{3 \times 16}{8 \times 1} = \frac{48}{8} = 6
The entire expression is
343846=34384÷6=34384×16=343504\frac{\frac{343}{84}}{6} = \frac{343}{84} \div 6 = \frac{343}{84} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{343}{504}
We check if the fraction can be simplified.
343=73343 = 7^3
504=23×32×7504 = 2^3 \times 3^2 \times 7
343504=7323×32×7=7223×32=498×9=4972\frac{343}{504} = \frac{7^3}{2^3 \times 3^2 \times 7} = \frac{7^2}{2^3 \times 3^2} = \frac{49}{8 \times 9} = \frac{49}{72}

3. Final Answer

4972\frac{49}{72}
