To divide a fraction by itself is actually pretty easy.
Let's say that we have a fraction which is a/b (so a and b could be any numbers and this could be any fraction).
Then, we can do the following:
(a/b)/(a/b) = (a/b)*(b/a) (in other words, when dividing by a fraction, you can do this by multiplying by the fraction flipped upside down)
= (a*b)/(b*a)
= 1 (because a and b cancel each other out)
Therefore, any fraction (or indeed any number at all) divided by itself will give the answer of 1.
