Divides Simple

Fractions and
Mixed Numbers
Reciprocals
If the product of two numbers is 1, then they are reciprocals or
multiplicative inverse of each other. To find the reciprocal of a
fraction, interchange the numerator and the denominator.

Example 𝟐 𝟓 𝟏
𝟓 𝟕
¿ ¿ ¿
𝟓 𝟐 𝟕 𝟓 𝟔
Example 1 Divide : ÷

Step 1 Get the reciprocal of


the divisor
÷ = ÷x
Step 2 Change the operation
from division to multiplication = 𝟏𝟓
x
Step 3 Multiply the numerator 𝟐𝟏
and denominator

Step 4 Simplify
= ÷
Example 2 Divide : ÷ K - C - F Method

K - Keep the first fraction


÷x
C - Change the operation
F - Flip the second fraction
= x = 1
Multiply the numerator and
denominator.
Convert improper fractions to mixed number
Example 3 Divide: ÷

Get the reciprocal of the divisor


÷ = 𝟓
Express the whole number
𝟏 x
as a fraction
Change the operation from division 𝟓
¿ x
to multiplication
𝟏
Multiply the numerator and
denominator
Simplify or write the product in lowest
= 𝟏𝟓
terms, if possible
Example 4 Divide : ÷2

Convert mixed number

16÷ 2 =
to improper fractions

𝑴𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒊𝒑𝒍𝒚 𝑨𝒅𝒅
Express the whole number
as a fraction
÷= ÷x
𝑹𝒆 c𝒊𝒑𝒓𝒐 c 𝒂𝒍 C𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏
Multiply the numerator and
denominator = =
Convert improper fractions to
mixed number
Example 5 Divide : 2 ÷1

Convert mixed number to 2÷ 2 = ÷ 𝟓 𝟏𝟏
