Practice Fraction Division

Quick Tips

  • Keep, Change, Flip - Keep the first fraction, change division to multiplication, flip the second fraction
  • Multiply the numerators after flipping
  • Multiply the denominators after flipping
  • Simplify your final answer
  • Remember: dividing by a fraction less than 1 makes the result larger
  • Check your answer by multiplying it by the divisor - you should get the dividend

How to Divide Fractions

Dividing fractions uses a simple trick: "Keep, Change, Flip". Here are the steps:

  1. Keep the first fraction as it is
  2. Change the division sign to multiplication
  3. Flip the second fraction (reciprocal)
  4. Multiply the fractions
  5. Simplify the result if possible

Example

Let's divide 2/3 ÷ 3/4:

  1. Keep first fraction: 2/3
  2. Change ÷ to ×
  3. Flip second fraction: 3/4 becomes 4/3
  4. Multiply: 2/3 × 4/3
  5. Multiply numerators: 2 × 4 = 8
  6. Multiply denominators: 3 × 3 = 9
  7. Result: 8/9

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Forgetting to flip the second fraction
  • Flipping both fractions instead of just the second one
  • Not simplifying the final answer
  • Trying to find a common denominator (not needed for division!)
