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.
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.
A quotient of integers is the result of dividing one integer by another. When dividing two integers, the result may be a whole number if the division is exact, or a decimal/fraction if there is a remainder. For example, when dividing 10 by 2, the quotient is 5, which is also an integer.
That's a fraction. To convert a decimal to a fraction, say it out loud. 0.37 = "thirty-seven hundredths" = 37/100
Because it's a fraction
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.
The quotient of the two fractions.

No.
The quotient of two rational numbers.
A quotient of two numbers cannot have a denominator which is zero: such a fraction is not defined.
Invert the fraction and multiply.
To express 0.36 as the quotient of two integers in simplest form, we first multiply by 100 to get rid of the decimal point: 0.36 x 100 = 36. This gives us the fraction 36/100. To simplify this fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. Therefore, 36/100 simplifies to 9/25.
The quotient is larger than the original fraction.
You need two numbers to find a quotient.
To find the quotient of two numbers, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator. For example, if you have 10 as the numerator and 2 as the denominator, the quotient would be 10 divided by 2, which equals 5. Therefore, the quotient in lowest terms for this example would be 5/1.
Choose ANY fraction. Multiply 5/6 by that fraction to get the other fraction.
It is a rational fraction.
