Hey, 25equivelv!

If you know how to multiply a fraction, you will be able to divide it as well. If you do not know how to multiply a fraction, look it up or message me.

I say that if you know how to multiply fractions you know how to divide them because dividing is basically multiplication backwards, so in fraction terms, it's multiplying by the reciprocal. If you don't know what that is, multiplying by the reciprocal is that same as flipping the second fraction and multiplying.

You divide a fraction by using the KCF method. KCF stands for Keep Change Flip. First, write your problem down. You keep the first fraction the same, change the division sign to a multiplication sign, and flip the fraction around. An example would be 1/3 / 5/8. You would keep the 1/3 how it was, change the / to x or •, and flip the 5/8 to get 8/5. Then, you multiply them together. (Use cross cancelation if necessary) You would do:

1 8
- x -
3 5

1 x 8 is 8 and 3 x 5 is 15 so you'd get 8/15.

Hope this helps!!
