Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Fraction Division
Dividing fractions involves multiplying by the reciprocal of the divisor. To divide two fractions, you take the first fraction and multiply it by the reciprocal of the second fraction. For example, dividing (a/b) by (c/d) is equivalent to (a/b) * (d/c). This method simplifies the process and allows for easier calculations.

Lowest Terms
A fraction is in lowest terms when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. To simplify a fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). This ensures that the fraction is expressed in its simplest form, making it easier to understand and work with.

Multiplication of Fractions
Multiplying fractions involves multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together. For instance, to multiply (a/b) by (c/d), you calculate (a*c)/(b*d). This straightforward approach allows for quick calculations and is essential for both multiplication and division of fractions, as division can be transformed into multiplication by using reciprocals.
