How can fractions be used to show division?

In: Math and Arithmetic [Edit categories]

Answer:

A fraction is written with one number (the numerator) on top of another number (the denominator) with a horizontal line separating them; the number on top is being divided by the number on the bottom. That's what fractions mean. One divided by two is one over two which is one half.
