2/3 is a larger fraction that 3/8.

The top number of a fraction is the numerator. The bottom number is the denominator. If you want to do mathematical equations, you need to find a common denominator by multiplying the bottom number of each fraction until you get a matching number. Whatever number you multiply the two denominators by, you must also multiply the corresponding numerator by the same number.

3/8 = 6/16 = 9/24

2/3 = 4/6 = 6/9 = 8/12 = 10/15 = 12/18 = 14/21 = 16/24

16/24 > 9/24

2/3 > 3/8

Two thirds is greater than three eighths, therefore three eights is not divisible by two thirds.
