The reciprocal of 3/5 is 5/3.

The numerator is the top number of a fraction . Since fractions are just shorthand for division, the numerator is the number that gets divided by the denominator. In a division problem, it is called the dividend .

There are several notations for division: They all mean to divide the number a by the number b. The number a is called the numerator (or sometimes dividend), the number b is called the denominator (or sometimes divisor), and the ratio a/b is called the quotient.

Here’s the Rule for Division

1. Change the “÷” (division sign) to “x” (multiplication sign) and invert the number to the right of the sign.
2. Multiply the numerators.
3. Multiply the denominators.
4. Re-write your answer in its simplified or reduced form, if needed.

The reciprocal of the divisor (second fraction) is. Multiply the dividend (first fraction) to the reciprocal of the divisor. This is our final answer because the resulting fraction is already in its lowest term! Example 2: Divide the fractions below. Sometimes you may encounter the phrase “inverse of a fraction”.
