The answer will depend on the sign of the fraction.
(1/4) / 2 = 1/8, which is smaller.
(-1/4) / 2 = -1/8, which is greater.

When you divide a unit fraction less than 1 by a whole number is the quotient larger or smaller than the fractions?
The answer depends on the sign of the numbers.(1/4) / 3 = 1/12, which is smaller.(-1/4) / 3 = -1/1, which is larger.
How is it possible to find a fraction smaller than another fraction?
No because the smallest fraction depeneds on how many parts you have for instance if the denominator is larger the fraction is smaller

Why do you divide to change a smaller unit to a larger unit?
Because the number of larger units will be less than the number of smaller units, and when you divide the answer is usually smaller than the number you started with.
If I divide a smaller number by a larger number will this indicate the percentage that the larger number is over the smaller number?
No, that will indicate the percentage the smaller number is of the larger number.
