$\frac{\cot (x)}{\csc (x)}$

Step 1

Rewrite $\csc (x)$ in terms of sines and cosines.

$\frac{\cot (x)}{\frac{1}{\sin (x)}}$

Step 2

Rewrite $\cot (x)$ in terms of sines and cosines.

$\frac{\frac{\cos (x)}{\sin (x)}}{\frac{1}{\sin (x)}}$

Step 3

Multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction to divide by $\frac{1}{\sin (x)}$ .

$\frac{\cos (x)}{\sin (x)} \sin (x)$

Step 4
