Description: Dividing complex numbers can be more complicated than multiplying complex numbers since when the result is a fraction, in order to write that fraction as a complex number in standard form, it must be separated into a real part plus an imaginary part. This may require the fraction's numerator and denominator to be multiplied by the denominator's complex conjugate. In this lecture we also see how to visualize complex division geometrically, using the vector representations of these complex numbers on the complex plane.
