Division of rational expression is
defined as

Where a, b, c and d are b, d, and c

are nonzero. (Students are listening)
To divide rational algebraic
expressions:
1. Multiply the dividend by the
reciprocal of the divisor.
2. Factor the numerator and the
denominator.
3. Cancel common factors.
Simplify, if possible. (Students getting 1 whole
