Fraction Division Formula
$$\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c} = \frac{a \cdot d}{b \cdot c}$$
To divide two fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second.

Divide: 2/3 ÷ 4/5
- Take the reciprocal of the second fraction → 5/4
- Multiply: (2 × 5) / (3 × 4) = 10 / 12
- Simplify: 10 / 12 = 5 / 6
Result: 5/6
