Assuming the numbers are 51/4 and 22/7:
(51/4) / 22/7) = (21/4) / 16/7) = (21/4) * (7/16) = (21*7) / (4*16) = 147/64
0.5 = 1/2 and 0.25 = 1/4 1/2 divided by 1/4 is changed to 1/2 multiplied 4/1 which is 2 This rule applies when dividing a fraction by a fraction.

If you are trying to compare a given decimal to a given fraction, you can divide the fraction out and compare the result to the given decimal. For example, 1/2 = 1 divided by 2. = 0.5 3/4 = 3 divided by 4. = 0.75
It may be a whole number, or it may be another fraction. Examples: 1/2 divided by 1/4 = 2 (whole number) 1/2 divided by 1/3 = 3/2 (a fraction).
4/2 divided by 1/3
0.5 = 1/2 and 0.25 = 1/4 1/2 divided by 1/4 is changed to 1/2 multiplied 4/1 which is 2 This rule applies when dividing a fraction by a fraction.

A fraction is basically an unsolved division. E.g. 1/2 = 0.5 as 1 divided by 2 = 0.5And, 3/4 = 0.75 as 3 divided by 4 = 0.75
when diving by a fraction, multiply by the reciprocal. Ex. 1/2 divided by 1/4 is actually 1/2 x 4/1 or just (4) 1/2x 4= 2

To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal. In this instance, 4/5 / 1/2 = 4/5 x 2 = 1 3/5 or one and three fifths.To divide one fraction by another, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. In this case, 4/5 divided by 1/2 = 4/5 x 2/1.
It may still be a fraction. However, the answer could be an integer. For example, 1/2 divided by 1/8 = 4.
4 to a fraction = 4/1
[2/3 divide by '4' [2/3] / [4/1] This is division of fractions. Remember the rule for division of fractions. CHANGE THE SIGN TO MULTIPLY AND INVER ( TURN OVER) THE RIGHT HAND FRACTION. Then proceed as for multiplication Hence 2/3 X 1/4 = Cancel down by '2' 1/3 X 1/2 = 1/6 The answer!!!!!
