To divide real numbers as fractions multiply by the of the divisor?
" ... multiply by the RECIPROCAL of the divisor.
How are equivalent fractions related to simplifying fractions?
When a fraction is simplified, it is made into an equivalent fraction with no common divisor between the numerator and denominator.
Is a fraction never a rational number?
Fractions where both the numerator and divisor are rational numbers are always rational numbers.
When doing fractions why is it easier to multiply and divide fractions than add and substract 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).
What math process uses reciprocals?
When you divide fractions you need to multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. You would also use it anytime the multiplicative inverse is required.

Why do you use greatest common divisor?
To simplify fractions.
What does the denominator stand for in fractions?
The denominator of a fraction is the divisor of the numerator.
Why do you multiply the reciprocalof the divisor when dividing fractions?

How are equivalent fractions related to simplifying fractions?
When a fraction is simplified, it is made into an equivalent fraction with no common divisor between the numerator and denominator.
How are fractions related to division?
Fractions are related to division because the top of the fraction is the numerator or the dividend of the fraction and the bottom of the fraction is the denominator or the divisor of the fraction.
What does greatest divisor mean?
The greatest divisor is the largest number that divides into a given number evenly - no remainder or fractions. For example, the greatest divisor of 75 is 25 since no number greater than 25 will go into 75 evenly.
Do you need a common denominator to divide fractions?
No. Dividing fractions is achieved by inverting the divisor and multiplying the resulting fractions. To multiply fractions the numerators are multiplied together to form the new numerator and the denominators are multiplied together to form the new denominator.
Is a fraction never a rational number?
Fractions where both the numerator and divisor are rational numbers are always rational numbers.
What is the least common divisor of 195 and 351?
The least common divisor of 195 and 351 is the smallest common divisor and is 1.Perhaps you meant least common denominator (also know as the Lowest Common Multiple) which would be used if 195 and 351 were the denominators of two fractions to be added. In this case it is: 1755
