How to Multiply Fractions

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

\( \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \times c}{b \times d} \)

After multiplying, it's always good practice to simplify the fraction to its lowest form.

Why Simplify Fractions?

Simplifying fractions makes them easier to work with and understand. A fraction is in its simplest form when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.

To simplify a fraction, divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
