You don't need like denominators in order to divide.
To divide the first fraction by the second fraction:
-- Draw a new fraction line off to the side, for the answer.
-- Invert the second fraction.
-- Multiply their numerators; write the product on top of the new fraction.
-- Multiply their denominators; write the product on the bottom of the new fraction.
-- The "new fraction" is equal to the first one divided by the original (unflipped)second one.
Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number or divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number
Divide the denominator into the numerator. If the answers are the same decimal, the fractions are equivalent.
Like Fractions
Yes, you can.
You don't need a common denominator to divide fractions.
Like fractions are the fractions which have the same denominator and unlike fractions are the fractions which do not have the same denominator.
you flip the last (second) fraction, and then you change the divide sign into a times sign. You can then times the fractions from there. You do not need the same denominator to times fractions.
Similiar fractions are fractions that have the same denominator.
The answer is obtained by dividing the first numerator by the second.
multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number, or divide each side by a common factor.
Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions. If the fractions have the same denominator, you subtract the numerators. If the fractions have different denominators, you have to convert to a common denominator first.Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions.

It is easier to multiply or divide fractions than to add or subtract fractions because in multiplication, you just have to multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator. Same applies with division of fractions, except that you have to reciprocate the fraction you're dividing with (divisor) then proceed to multiplication. Whereas, in addition and subtraction of fractions, you still have to get their Least Common Denominator (LCD).
