Suppose, a fraction 2/3 is to be divided by a whole number 8, as in the following case.2/3 ÷ 8Firstly, we have to convert the Division into multiplication by writing the reciprocal of the divisor, i.e. a fraction. [Step I: Turning over the second fraction upside-down (it becomes a reciprocal): 8 = 8/1 becomes 1/8.]= 2/3 × 1/8 = (2 × 1)/(3 × 8) [Step II: Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second]By Solving the expression, we get the simplified fraction in the following step, which cannot be further simplified.[Step III: Simplify the fraction]= 1/12
