Steps to divide 9/12 by 9

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, so 9/12 ÷ 9 is solved by turning the divisor upside down and multiplying. Here is every step.

Step 1: Write both numbers as fractions

A whole number is written over 1, and a mixed number becomes an improper fraction: multiply the whole part by the denominator and add the numerator.

9 = 9/1

Step 2: Flip the divisor

The reciprocal of 9/1 is 1/9, because a fraction and its reciprocal multiply to 1. Division by 9/1 therefore becomes multiplication by 1/9.

9/12 ÷ 9/1 = 9/12 × 1/9

Step 3: Multiply across

Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

9/12 × 1/9

=

(9 × 1)/(12 × 9)

=

9/108

Step 4: Reduce the fraction

The greatest common factor of 9 and 108 is 9, so divide both parts by it.

9/108

=

1/12
