dividing fractions

There are 3 Simple Steps to Divide Fractions:

Step 1. Turn the second fraction (the one you want to divide by) upside-down
(this is now a reciprocal).
Step 2. Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal

Step 3. Simplify the fraction (if needed)


Example 1

1 ÷ 1


2 6

Step 1. Turn the second fraction upside-down (it becomes a reciprocal):

1  becomes  6


6 1

Step 2. Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal:

1 × 6 = 1 × 6 = 6




2 1 2 × 1 2
Step 3. Simplify the fraction:
6 = 3
