Fraction Division Definition
Fraction division is the process of dividing one fraction by another. It is important because it helps us solve real-life problems involving parts of a whole or comparing quantities.

Example
The following example will go over how to divide one fraction by another.
Let’s take a fraction of 5/6 and try to divide it by 4/5.
Using the formula above, the resulting fraction will be 5*5/4*6 = 25/24
Further more, we would like to simplify this to a mixed fraction.
25/24 = 1 1/24.
In this case, the resulting mixed fraction has the fraction portion in its simplest form, but sometimes it can be simplified even further.
