Suppose the two fractions, in their simplest form, are a/b and c/d, that is to say, a and b have no common factors, and neither do ca nd d. You want to find the quotient: (a/b) / (c/d). Now, dividing by (c/d) is the same as multiplying by (d/c). So the required quotient is the same as (a/b) * (d/c) or (a*d)/(b*c) .
Multiply a and d for the numerator, b abd c for the denominator (after eliminating any factors that are common to a and c, and to b and d). That is your answer.

What is the definition of fraction?
a fraction is the representation of a number as the quotient of two integers. all rational numbers can be written as a fraction, and all fractions represent rational numbers.
How do you convert a decimal to a quotient of two integers?
That's a fraction. To convert a decimal to a fraction, say it out loud. 0.37 = "thirty-seven hundredths" = 37/100
Why is the quotient larger than the dividend when by a unit fraction?
Because it's a fraction
Is the quotient of two nonzero numbers always a rational number?
Yes, as long as the two nonzero numbers are themselves rational. (Since a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient of two rational numbers, or any number that can be written as a fraction using only rational numbers.) If one of the nonzero numbers is not rational, the quotient will most likely be irrational.
Is the square root of 0.0125 a rational number?
a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction a/b of two integers,yes
What is the answer to divide two fraction?
The quotient of the two fractions.
How do you find the quotient of a fraction and a whole number?
divide
What you represent with fraction?
The quotient of two rational numbers.
The quotient of two proper fractions is a proper fraction?
No.
What is a number written as quotient of two integers where denominator is zero?
A quotient of two numbers cannot have a denominator which is zero: such a fraction is not defined.
When you divide whole number by a fraction with a numerator of 1 how do you find the quotient?
Invert the fraction and multiply.
What is 0.36 expressed as the quotient of two integers in simplest form?
When we want to find the quotient of two integers in simplest form, they are simply asking for a fraction that is simplified. What we have here is 36/100 (0.36). We've turned it back into a fraction which is a quotient of two integers.Now we need only simplify 36/100, which is 9/25. So therefore 9 ÷ 25 = 0.36.
What happens to the quotient when you divide a fraction by a fraction?
The quotient is larger than the original fraction.
What is the quotient of 158535?
You need two numbers to find a quotient.
What are two positive fractions with a quotient of fivge-sixth?
Choose ANY fraction. Multiply 5/6 by that fraction to get the other fraction.
What is a number written as a quotient of two integers where denominator is not zero?
It is a rational fraction.
Number written as a quotient of two integers where denominator is not 0?
It is a rational fraction.
