II.Core Knowledge + Worked Examples
Knowledge Point 1: Fraction ÷ Integer🔴 SSPA
Core rule: fraction ÷ integer = fraction × (reciprocal of integer)
② For example:23 ÷ 2 = 23 × 12 = 26 = 13
③ Reciprocal of integer a =1a(remember: a = |||SEP|||, the reciprocal isa1④ After division, it must be reduced! The numerator and denominator are divided by the greatest common factor (HCF) at the same time)1a
④ It must be reduced after division! Divide both the numerator and denominator by the highest common factor (HCF)
Fraction ÷ integer = fraction × reciprocal of integer 2/3 ÷ 2 1/3 ÷2 = × 1/2 (reciprocal) 2/3 × 1/2 = 2/6 = 1/3 ✓ Half → 2 parts and only 1 part left = 1/3
Example 1
calculate:34 ÷ 2 = ?
Example 2
calculate:56 ÷ 4 = ?
Knowledge Point 1 Synchronization practice (write out: ① turn × reciprocal ② numeratormultiplynumerator·denominatormultiplydenominator ③simplify)
#QuestionDifficultyWorking Space
523 ÷ 2 = ?🌱
658 ÷ 5 = ?🌱
747 ÷ 3 = ?🌿
8910 ÷ 6 = ?🌿
⚠️ The most frequent error: ÷2 is treated as ×2 instead of × 12! Remember: ÷Integer = ×The reciprocal of that integer.
Knowledge Point 2: fraction÷fraction = × reciprocal🔴 SSPA Must-Test
Core formula:ab ÷ cd = ab × dc = a×db×c
① The divisor after the division signmust be inverted (the numerator and denominator are swapped)② The division sign becomes a multiplication sign ③ Then calculate by fraction multiplication ④ Must reduce
Don’t make a mistake: only the fraction after the division sign is inverted!
Make no mistake: only the fraction after the division sign is inverted!
The fraction after the division sign needs to be "reversed" - only the divisor is reversed! 2/3 ÷ 1 4 Turn over × 4 1 = 8/3 = 2⅔ Rule: a/b ÷ c/d = a/b × d/c Only the fraction after ÷ is reversed!
🪤 Trap detonation example 3 (the most important demonstration in this class)
calculate:23 ÷ 14 = ?
❌ Common mistakes (60% students)
23 × 14 = 212 = 16
Forgot to reverse the divisor of 14! Treat it directly as a multiplication sign.
✅ Correct solution
23 × 41 = 83 = 223
÷14 → ×41 (the fraction after the division sign must be reversed!)
🧠 Tip: "Invert the division sign and turn it into a multiplication sign. The numerator is multiplied by the numerator and the denominator is multiplied by the denominator. The answer must be simplified!"
Example 4
calculate:35 ÷ 23 = ?
Knowledge Point 2 Synchronization practice (mustwrite out: ①÷→× ②divide number inversion ③simplify)
#QuestionDifficultyWorking Space
912 ÷ 13 = ?🌱
1034 ÷ 12 = ?🌱
1156 ÷ 23 = ?🌿
1245 ÷ 310 = ?🌿
⚠️ High-frequency trap: Just remember "reverse" but also reverse the previous scores! For example, 23÷45 is incorrectly written as 32×54 — wrong! Only what follows ÷ is inverted.
Knowledge Point 3: Division with Mixed Fractions🔴 SSPA Advanced
Standard three-step method:
mixed fraction → improper fraction(integer × denominator + numerator)
Reverse the divisor after the division sign, the division sign becomes the multiplication sign
Multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator→ Reduction → Convert the improper fraction to a mixed fraction
Division of mixed numbers: first convert to improper fraction → then reverse → then multiply ①Convert to improper fraction 1½ → 3/2 ②Reverse divisor ÷ 2/3 → × 3/2 ③Multiplication calculation 3/2 × 3/2 = 9/4 = 2¼
Convert Improper Fractions
Convert all mixed numbers into improper fractions
divisor reversal
÷The following fraction is reversed
Multiplication calculation
Numerator × Numerator Denominator × Denominator
Reduction·Return
Reduction + Improper Fraction → Mixed Fraction
Example 5
Calculate: 112 ÷ 23 = ?
Example 6
Calculate: 213 ÷ 112 = ?
Knowledge Point 3 Synchronization practice
#QuestionDifficultyWorking Space
13114 ÷ 12 = ?🌿
14212 ÷ 113 = ?🌳
15123 ÷ 34 = ?🌳
❌ Trap: Mixed fractions are reversed before they are false.
112 ÷ 23 = 12 × 32
Just separate the numerator and denominator of 1½ – big mistake!
✅ Correct: Convert improper fractions first
32 × 32 = 94 = 214
1½ = 3/2 → 3/2 ÷ 2/3 = 3/2 × 3/2 = 9/4
Knowledge Point 4: Fraction Division Application Questions 🔴 SSPA Required Exam
Four-step method to solve the problem:Circle keywords("Share equally" "Each..." "How many servings can..." = division)
Column formula(Total amount ÷ per serving = number of servings; Total amount ÷ number of servings = per serving)
Calculate according to the division stepsWrite a complete answer(Step points will be deducted if you do not write an answer!)
Key word question: Total quantity ÷ Per portion = Number of divisible portions Total quantity 5/6 m Each section 1/4 m 1/4 = ? Sections 5/6 ÷ 1/4 = 5/6 × 4/1 = 3⅓ sections ✓

#common errorCorrect Approach
1÷integer is treated as×integer34 ÷ 2 = 64÷2 = ×12, not ×2! The reciprocal of an integer is 1/integer
2÷Fraction forgetting to reverse the divisor23 ÷ 14 = 212÷14 = ×41, only the one after the division sign is inverted!
3Reverse the previous fraction as well23÷45=32×54Only fractions after ÷ are inverted! The front is unchanged, the back is reversed.
4The answer is not reduced612as the final answerMust be reduced to the simplest fraction (numerator and denominator ÷ HCF)
5Improper fractions are not converted to mixed fractionsNumerator > Denominator → Convert into mixed numbers (subject to the requirements of the division test)
6Mixed fractions are divided directly by ÷without conversion: 1½÷2You must first convert to an improper fraction (1½ = 3/2), and then follow the division steps
7Application question "number of copies vs. each copy" confusionTotal amount ÷ amount per serving = number of servings; total amount ÷ number of servings = amount per serving. Distinguish clearly!
