...cancel its denominator, and then we divide the dividend by the numerator of the divisor. Or, simply, we multiply the numerator of the dividend by the denominator of the divisor for a new numerator, and multiply the denominator of the dividend by the numerator of the divisor for a new denominator. Therefore,... | |
