The video tutorial explains how to divide fractions by integers using the KFC method, which stands for Keep, Flip, and Change. The instructor demonstrates this method through three examples: dividing 1/8 by 2, 5/6 by 3, and 3/5 by 2. Each example involves converting the integer to a fraction, keeping the original fraction, flipping the second fraction, and changing the operation from division to multiplication. The tutorial emphasizes multiplying numerators and denominators to find the result.
