Rational expression is an expression which can be written as division of two polynomial expressions. To divide a rational expression the polynomial is simplified and the the like terms are canceled on the numerator and the denominator.The online tool used to divide the given rational expressions is called dividing rational expressions calculator.

Example 1: Divide the given rational expression (x + 3)/ (2x) by (x + 3)/ 6x²

Dividing the given two rational expressions, the expression looks like this

[(x + 3)/ (2x)] / [(x + 3)/ 6x²]

Now here we take the reciprocal of the rational expression in the denominator.

Reciprocal of (x + 3)/ 6x² is 6x²/ (x + 3)

[(x + 3)/ (2x)] * [6x²/ (x + 3)

[(x + 3)* 6x²]/ ([2x * (x + 3)]

Here (x + 3) in the top and bottom gets cancelled.

6x²/ 2x =3x

Example 2: Divide the given rational expression (4a)/3 by (16a)/ (a + 2).

Dividing the given two rational expressions, the expression looks like this

[4a/3] / [16a/ (a + 2)]

Now here we take the reciprocal of the rational expression in the denominator.

Reciprocal of 16a/ (a + 2) is (a + 2)/ 16a

(4a/3) * [(a+2)/ 16a]

(4a * (a + 2))/ (3 * 16a)

(a + 2)/ 12

I just want you to know how great Brinda has been in tutoring me on probability. She is patient and very knowledgeable in all concepts. I look forward to many more sessions with her. I appreciate her help and the great work that Tutor Pace is doing.

I have enjoyed my session with Aparna and it was helpful. I will hope to see her as my Math tutor in future sessions as well.

Your tutor has been such an inspiration to me as I have difficulty getting some of the physics concepts down and truly understanding them. She takes the time to fully explain each and every aspect of any problem I might ask for help and always with encouragement and humor.
