how do you multiply fractions?

Nothnx:

Multiply the top numbers (the numerators). Multiply the bottom numbers (the denominators). Simplify the fraction if needed.

thx

Rylee88:

Step 1: Take the reciprocal of the divisor. Step 2: Multiply the numerators. Step 3: Multiply the denominators. Step 4: Simplify the answer. *Also when your done with this question close it*

1 Write down the problem on a piece of paper. Being able to see your work will help you learn how to multiply fractions better. Plus, if you make a mistake, it’ll be easier to go back in your work to see the error. Each fraction has a numerator (the number on the top) and a denominator (the number on the bottom). Separate the numerator from the denominator with a straight, horizontal line.[1] Try your best to keep your fractions in a straight line. This will just make it easier to stay organized and work efficiently. 2 Multiply the numerators first.[2] For example, if you’re asked to solve for 5/6 * 2/3, the first thing you’ll need to do is multiply 5 * 2, which gives you 10. This will be the numerator for your answer.[3] In another example, solve for the numerator of 3/4 * 1/3. Any number times 1 will be itself, so your new numerator is 3. 4 Simplify your new fraction to get it in the lowest form possible. If the numerator and denominator share common factors (they can be divided equally by the same number), you can simply your answer. For the example of 5/6 * 2/3, the answer you got was 10/18. Both 10 and 18 are divisible by 2. Divide both numbers by 2 to get your final, simplified answer, which is 5/9.[6] Simply the fraction 3/12. 3 goes into both itself and 12 evenly. The simplified answer is 1/4.
