Question

what is the answer
Division of rational numbers is​

Answer 1

Answer:

To learn division of rational numbers let us recall how to divide a fraction by another fraction. We know division of fractions is the inverse of multiplication.

Similarly, in case of rational number also, division is the inverse of multiplication as defined below:

Division: If m and n two rational numbers such that n ≠ 0, then the result of dividing m by n is the rational number obtained on multiplying m by the reciprocal of n.

When x is divided by y, we write m ÷ n. Thus m ÷ n = m × 1/n.

If w/x and y/z are two rational numbers such that y/z ≠ 0, then

w/x ÷ y/z = w/x × (y/z)^-1 = w/x × z/y

Dividend: The number to be divided is called the dividend.

Divisor: The number which divides the dividend is called the divisor.

Quotient: When dividend is divided by the divisor, the result of the division is called the quotient.
