When dividing fractions, you leave the first fraction alone but you flip the second fraction around so the top is on bottom and the bottom is on the top. And then you multiply the tops together and the bottoms together and then simplify.
So it will look like this
1/3 / 5/6 -> 1/3 x 6/5 -> 6/15

When you are dividing two fractions how come your answer is bigger than 1?
The answer is always bigger than one only if the fraction you are dividing by is smaller than the fraction you are dividing into. Any number divided by a smaller number is bigger than 1. To divide fractions you invert he demominator and multiply: 1/2 divided by 1/4 = 1/2 times 4 = 2
How are fractions and division related?
Every fraction is obtained by means of division. For example, a half is obtained by dividing 1 by 2. A quarter is obtained by dividing 1 by 4.A:That's what a fraction is, dividing. Example, if you put 6 over 2, all you are saying is 6 divided by 2. Each are 3.Or, if you say 1 over 2, you are saying 1 divided by 2. If you divide one into two parts, each part would be a half, because half of one is one half.

What is the formula in dividing fractions?
There is no formula for dividing fractions, but there is a way of doing it. When you a fraction divided by another fraction like below... 1/2 divided by 4/7.... Swap the second fraction around and then multiply like this... 1/2 multiplied by 7/4.... And when multiplying fractions, multiply the numerators (top number) together, and the denominators (bottom number) together (1x7)/(2x4) = 7/8 Simple
