If you are trying to figure out what 8/4 is, there are 2 ways to do it. The first way is to draw a picture. the other way is to divide. Let's start with drawing a picture. Imagine or draw 2 circles, or pies. You will cut each pie into 4 equal pieces. In total, there will be 8 pieces. 8 will be our numerator. In each circle, there will be 4 pieces. So 4 is our denominator. Now we know our fraction, let's try to find out our answer. Our answer will be how many pies or circles there are in all. So, 8/4 is equal to 2.  

Now, let's try 8/4 again, but with division. What is 8 divided by 4? Well, first, we need to know................................ 4 x ? = 8. Let's try................ 4 x 3. What is 4 x 3? 4 threes are 12! That is not the answer! What about............. 4 x 4? 4 fours are 16! That is not 8! How about 4 x 2? 4 twos are...... 8! Is 8 what we are looking for? YES! So, 8/4 is 2. 

Let's do..... 6/2! Imagine 3 pies or circles. You are going to cut each circle into 2 parts, or halves. In total, you have 6 pieces in all. So, 6 is our numerator. The amount of pieces in total is the numerator. The number of pieces in each pie or circle is the denominator. So, 2 is our denominator. How many pies or circles are there in all? 3! We solved 6/2!

Now, let's try 6/2 in division! What is 6 divided by 2? Let's see what 2 x ? = 6? is it.... 4? 2 fours are 8! What about..... 2 x 5? 2 fives are 10! How about..... 2 x 3? 2 threes are 6! So, 6/2 is 3! But what about 6/3? Well... is 3 x 5 = 6? NO! Does 3 x 8 = 6? NO! Does 3 x 9 = 6? NO WAY! Does 3 x 2 = 6? YES! Hooray! We solved 6/3!

Now, Let's try some on your own!

The answer is..... 2!

What is..... 9/3?
