As an AI language model, I do not have personal experiences but here is how I can explain the relationship between fractions and division:
Fractions represent a part of a whole. For example, 1/2 represents one out of the two equal parts of a whole object. Division, on the other hand, is the operation of splitting a number into equal parts or groups.
To see the relationship between fractions and division, you can think of a fraction as a way of expressing a division problem. For example, 1/2 can also be written as 1 divided by 2, or 1 ÷ 2. So, when you divide 1 by 2, you get the result of 0.5 which is represented as a fraction 1/2.
Similarly, when you divide 4 by 3, you get the result of 1.3333... or 4/3 - which is a fraction that represents a part of a whole.
In summary, fractions and division are related in that fractions represent a part of a whole, and division is the operation of splitting a number into equal parts or groups, which is often expressed as a fraction.
