How to Divide Fractions

To divide fractions, follow these steps:

1. Keep the first fraction (dividend) as is
2. Flip the second fraction (divisor) to get its reciprocal
3. Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second
4. Simplify the result if possible

For example, to divide 2/3 by 1/4:

• Keep 2/3 as is
• Flip 1/4 to get 4/1
• Multiply: 2/3 × 4/1 = 8/3
• 8/3 is already in simplest form

Remember: Division by zero is undefined, so the denominator of the divisor cannot be zero.
