How to Divide Fractions

To divide fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor:

$\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c} = \frac{a d}{b c}$

This technique is often remembered as "keep, change, flip" - keep the first fraction, change division to multiplication, and flip the second fraction.
