You do not invert it.
However, you can convert the remainder to a decimal by carrying out a long division of the remainder divided by the original divisor.
For example, 13/3 = 4r1
Then, long division of the remainder (=1) by the divisor (=3) gives 0.33.... which is the converted remainder.
The full quotient, in decimal form is 4.33...

Because division and multiplication are mutually inverse operations.
When you divide by fractions, you invert and multiply.
The process of dividing two fractions is to invert the second one and multiply. 3/4 divided by 5/6 = 3/4 x 6/5

You turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions. Then invert the divisor and multiply the numerators, and multiply the denominators (because division by a fraction is multiplication by its inverse) and simplify if possible: Example: Problem 3 1/4 divided by 2 1/2 - improper factions 13/4 divided by 5/2 - invert second fraction 5/2 to 2/5 - multiply 13/4 x 2/5 = 26/20 which is equivalent to 13/10 or 1 3/10
