Overloaded Arithmetic Operations on fractions
Hey, I'm 100% new to Overloading Operators, I don't fully get the syntax.
The goal here is trying to divide fractions. Fractions are stored within a class.
My main question is, how do I need to fix my syntax to make it work? I have a lot of red lines...

Any and all advice or resources would be appreciated!
