    To use a number line, start by drawing a number line. The number line should have a starting point and a stopping point. The starting point is 0 and the stopping point is 1. Next, divide the number line into equal pieces. The number of pieces should be the same as the number of fractions you are diving. For example, if you are dividing 3 fractions, then you would divide the number line into 3 equal pieces.

    Now, label the starting point 0, the first fraction 1/2, the second fraction 1/3, and the third fraction 1/4. Finally, draw lines between the points to represent the fractions.

    To use a calculator, start by typing in the numerator and the denominator of the fraction. Next, press the divide button (÷). Finally, press the enter button.

    Dividing The Polynomials Fractions

    We can divide polynomials fractions by dividing the numerators and denominators of the fractions.

    For example, we can divide the polynomial fractions:

    1/4x-3/8

    1/4x-3/8 = 1/4x-1/8

    We can also divide polynomial fractions by using the cross-multiplication method.

    For example, we can divide the polynomial fractions:

    x2-4x+3

    x2-4x+3 = (x+3)(x-1)
