Though technically correct, saying that a fraction is nothing more than a division problem limits the scope of one's understanding. Rather say a fraction is one possible way, and sometimes a more convenient way, of representing a division operation. Also, using the concept of fractions, you never actually have to divide again! You can always multiply by the reciprocal. Something divided by 5, for example, is exactly the same thing as saying that same something multiplied by one-fifth. That's why "Invert and Multiply" works for dividing by a fraction.
