How is dividing fraction different then multiplying?

Dividing fractions involves flipping the second fraction (taking its reciprocal) and then multiplying. For example, to divide ( \frac{a}{b} ) by ( \frac{c}{d} ), you convert it to ( \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c} ). In contrast, multiplying fractions directly involves multiplying the numerators and the denominators together without any changes. Thus, while both operations involve fractions, the process and the mathematical rules applied are distinctly different.
