Solve Fraction Division: Calculate 3/4 ÷ 5/6 Step-by-Step

You flip the divisor (the fraction after the division sign). In $\frac{3}{4} ÷ \frac{5}{6}$, flip $\frac{5}{6}$ to get $\frac{6}{5}$. The first fraction stays the same!

Your answer is still correct, but not in simplest form. Always check if the numerator and denominator share common factors. $\frac{18}{20}$ and $\frac{9}{10}$ are equal, but $\frac{9}{10}$ is preferred.

Think: "Division becomes multiplication by the reciprocal." The ÷ symbol changes to ×, and you flip the fraction after the division sign. Practice with simple examples first!

That's totally normal! When you divide by a fraction less than 1 (like $\frac{5}{6}$), your answer can be larger than the original number. Check your work by substitution.

Cross-multiplication works for equations like $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}$, but for division problems, you must use the reciprocal method. They're different types of problems!
