Division of fractions means to divide the numerators and denominators with each other but it cannot be simply for this we have to keep a simple rule in mind to change its sign first because by dividing the distract their attention from Mathematics. So make it simple for students by explaining them the simple rules of division of fractions.

To divide fractions with the whole number, multiply a bottom number of the fraction by the whole numbers and simplify it if required. Here are some rules to divide the fractions are given below;
• Change the sign of division into multiplication by inverting the number to the right of the sign.
• Multiply the numerators.
• Multiply the denominators.
• Rewrite your answer into simplest form if required.
• Numerators and denominators can also be canceled with each other.
•
Dividing fractions can be tricky, and it is the only operation in mathematics which requires reciprocal. By using the reciprocal simply means that you flip the fraction over or invert it. In this way, by completing step#1, the division will change into multiplication. The divisor has some other considerations also which are
• Remember to only invert the advisory.
• The numerators and denominators of divisor cannot be zero.
• Convert the sign into multiplication before any cancellation of the factors.
Example:
6 ÷ 1/3
= 1/6×3/1
= 1×3/6×1
=1/2 ans
For its better understanding, there are a lot of games available on the internet which can enable you to get maximum knowledge regarding solving these fractions and also makes it easy for you to get your student and child, motivated to learn this complicated operation.
Some students find it quite interesting to change its sign and then to cancel the factors with each other’s they can be easily understood the method of the division the fractions by teaching them the rule of making reciprocal. We are also having many online applications where qualified tutors are available of the guidance of students.
We can also find a number of videos available on the internet in which teachers are explaining the method of division of the fractions in a very lucid manner.
The rules which are defined below are the ultimate guidance for students to divide fractions to fractions and these are the simplest and easiest way to solve the division practice, but in algebra you also have to keep the signs in your mind as in simple mathematical operations, fractions either be positive or negative but in algebra we have to focus and ponder upon the multiplication or addition of signs as well to perform a correct mathematical operation. Algebra has some complications in solving, and we have to use some formulas for operations then somehow the procedure of solving the questions. We hope that this article will be highly guiding for the audience.
