First, we draw a picture of each fraction, then we can see that dividing one fraction into another is just seeing how many fractions fit inside of the other fraction. To perform the division without a picture, we just change the division to multiplication, then multiply by the reciprocal fractions. Dividing fractions is central to math, and we use this concept in algebra, calculus, and every branch of science and engineering.
