The procedure of dividing fractions necessitates the inversion of the second fraction (the divisor), transforming it into its reciprocal. Subsequently, the initial fraction (the dividend) is multiplied by this reciprocal. This method, often termed as "multiplying by the reciprocal," simplifies the task of fraction division into a more manageable operation, which is multiplication.
