The video tutorial explains how to divide the number four by two-thirds. It begins by introducing the concept of division by fractions and suggests multiplying by the reciprocal as a method. The tutorial then demonstrates this process by converting four into a fraction and multiplying it by the reciprocal of two-thirds. The result is simplified to show that four divided by two-thirds equals six. To reinforce understanding, the video uses a visual approach by drawing four whole units and dividing them into sections of two-thirds, illustrating how the division results in six equal parts.
