Divide Fractions Game
To divide fractions, keep the first fraction, change the division sign to multiplication, and then flip the second fraction to its reciprocal. Then multiply the fractions and simplify if possible. Scroll down the page for a more detailed explanation.
 
This game presents two fractions that you need to divide. If you give a wrong answer, the game will provide the correct answer. The game also allows you to enter the upper bound of the denominator to customize the difficulty of the game.

How to divide Fractions
Dividing Fractions
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its inverse (or reciprocal). To divide fractions, remember the phrase “Keep, Change, Flip."
Steps for Dividing Fractions

1. Keep: the first fraction the same.
   
2. Change: the division sign (÷) to a multiplication sign (×).
   
3. Flip: the second fraction, also known as finding its reciprocal. For example, the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3.
   
4. Multiply: the two numerators together and the two denominators together.
   
5. Simplify: the final answer by reducing it to its lowest terms, if necessary.
   
    <br Example: Divide 3/5 by 1/2.
   Keep: the first fraction: 3/5.
   Change: the division to multiplication: 3/5 ×.
   Flip: the second fraction (1/2) to get its reciprocal (2/1): 3/5 × 2/1.
   Multiply: the numerators and denominators: (3 × 2) / (5 × 1) = 6/5.
   Simplify: if needed. In this case, 6/5 is already in its simplest form, though it can also be written as a mixed number: 1 and 1/5.
