We illustrate the division of fractions by taking the example below.
[tex]\frac{5}{7}\div\frac{25}{14}[/tex]The first step is to change the division sign to multiplication by changing the fraction after the division sign.
[tex]=\frac{5}{7}\times\frac{14}{25}[/tex]Next, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
[tex]=\frac{5\times14}{7\times25}[/tex]You then simplify by dividing common factors.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \\ =\frac{5}{25}\times\frac{14}{7} \\ =\frac{1}{5}\times2 \\ =\frac{2}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]
