To solve \( 300 \div 1 \frac{2}{4} \), let's first convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.

### Step 1: Convert the mixed number
\( 1 \frac{2}{4} \) is equivalent to \( 1 \frac{1}{2} \), which can be rewritten as an improper fraction:
\[
1 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}
\]

### Step 2: Perform the division
Now, divide 300 by \( \frac{3}{2} \). Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, so:
\[
300 \div \frac{3}{2} = 300 \times \frac{2}{3}
\]

### Step 3: Multiply
Now, perform the multiplication:
\[
300 \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{300 \times 2}{3} = \frac{600}{3} = 200
\]

### Final Answer:
\[
300 \div 1 \frac{2}{4} = 200
\]
