Division, just as with multiplication, occurs either only between those fractions, or is transacted at the same time with those integers.

“Scribitur fractio duobus numeris, linea interiecta distinctis, quorum superior ipsam partem integri determinat, et numerator dicitur, inferior partes totius omnes refert, et denominator appellatur.”

A fraction is written with two numbers separated by a line between them, of which the portion above determines the pieces, and is called the numerator, and the portion below refers to the entire total, and is called the denominator.
