Dividing fractions can be easy with these three simple steps. Start by turning the second fraction upside down to find its reciprocal. Next, multiply the first fraction by this reciprocal. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if necessary. For example, to divide 2/3 by 1/4, you multiply 2/3 by 4/1 to get 8/3. You can apply the same method to other fractions like 1/2 by 1/6 or 1/8 by 1/4. Master these steps to tackle fraction division with confidence!

3 simple steps • Turn the second fraction (the one you want to divide by) upside down (this is now the reciprocal). • Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal. • Simplify the fraction if needed
Examples • 2/3 divided by 1/4 = 2/3 * 4/1= 8/3 • 1/2 divided by 1/6 = ? • 1/8 divided by 1/4 = ?
