How to Divide Fractions

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

\( \frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c} = \frac{ad}{bc} \)

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

Why Simplify Fractions?

Simplifying fractions makes them easier to work with and understand. A fraction is in its simplest form when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.

To simplify a fraction, divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
