A method of recovering (meth)acrylic acid comprising the steps of: A) contacting a mixed gas comprising (meth)acrylic acid, organic byproducts, and water vapor with water in a (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower to form an aqueous solution of (meth)acrylic acid; B) discharging the (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution of a first concentration, to the side part of the (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower; C) discharging the (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution of a second concentration, to the lowest part of the (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower; B-1) contacting the (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution of the first concentration discharged to the side part with an extraction solvent comprising a hydrophobic organic solvent in the (meth)acrylic acid extraction tower, to extract (meth)acrylic acid; and D) distilling the (meth)acrylic acid extract obtained in step B-1) and the (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution of the second concentration discharged in step C), through an azeotropic distillation process, to obtain (meth)acrylic acid, wherein the first concentration has a lower (meth)acrylic acid concentration than the second concentration, and the following Mathematical Formula 1 is satisfied: Y 1 = a × X 1 wherein, in Mathematical Formula 1, Y1 is an amount of the extraction solvent used in step B-1), a is a ratio of the extraction solvent, and is equal to or greater than 2.5, and X1 is an amount of water included in the (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution of the first concentration, wherein the extraction solvent used in step B-1) and the azeotropic solvent used in step D) are identical to each other, and the following Mathematical Formulas 4 and 5 are satisfied: Y = Y 1 + Y 2 Y 2 > Y 1 wherein, in Mathematical Formulas 4 and 5, Y is the total amount of the azeotropic solvent used in step D), Y1 is the amount of the extraction solvent used in step B-1), and Y2 is the amount of the azeotropic solvent added in step D).
