You cannot, since being divided by a number is the same as being multiplied by the reciprocal of that number.
For example, (2/3) / (5/4) = 8/15 and (2/3) * (4/5) = 8/15
The only time that you can be sure is if the result is zero. In that case, the fraction has been multiplied by 0. The reciprocal of 0 does not exist and so the operation could not have been division by 1/0.

Which would be a divisor 0.15 or 0.12?
Being a divisor isn't an inherent property of a number. Rather, whether or not a number serves as a divisor depends on how a fraction is formulated. For example, in the fraction 18/6, 18 is the dividend, or the number being divided, 6 is the divisor, or the number the dividend is being divided by, and 3 is the quotient, or the result of the division.
What is three fourths divided by one sixth?
To divide a fraction by a fraction you multiply the first fraction, or dividend (number being divided), by the reciprocal (reversed, numerator becomes denominator and denominator becomes numerator) of the divisor (number dividing the divisor). In this case, 3/4 would be multiplied by 6/1 and the answer would be 18/4. Hope this helps :)

What is 6 over 7 divided by 36 over 7?
To divide a fraction by a fraction you multiply the first fraction, or dividend (number being divided), by the reciprocal (reversed, numerator becomes denominator and denominator becomes numerator) of the divisor (number dividing the divisor).
