Division of Rational Numbers
Division of rational numbers involves dividing one rational number (a number that can be expressed as a fraction) by another. In mathematical terms, when you divide one rational number a by another rational number b (where b is not zero), the result is also a rational number.
The division of rational numbers can be represented as follows:
a/b ÷ cd = a/b × d/c
Where:
- a/b is the dividend,
- c/d is the divisor,
- a/b ÷ c/d is the quotient, and
- a/b × c/d is the equivalent multiplication expression.
Division of Rational Numbers
Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers, where the denominator is not zero. Some examples of rational numbers are 1/2, -3/2, 5, etc. 5 is whole number which can be written as 5/1 in the form of a fraction. Hence, we can say that a whole number is also a rational number.
In this article, we will understand the various properties of division of rational numbers and the procedure of division of rational numbers.
