Rules for division -- invert the fractional divisor and multiply let 1 / k = a unit fraction where k is any counting number, let m = any whole number so 1 / k divided by m becomes 1 / k multiplied by 1 / m = 1 / (km) the result is a new unit fraction with denominator equal to the old denominator times the whole number.
