How to Multiply Fractions

Multiplying fractions is simpler than adding or subtracting them. Here are the steps:

  1. Multiply the numerators - Multiply the top numbers together.
  2. Multiply the denominators - Multiply the bottom numbers together.
  3. Simplify if possible - Reduce the result to its simplest form.

Example

Let's multiply 2/3 × 3/4:

  1. Multiply numerators: 2 × 3 = 6
  2. Multiply denominators: 3 × 4 = 12
  3. Result is 6/12
  4. Simplify: 6/12 = 1/2

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Forgetting to simplify the final answer
  • Trying to find a common denominator (not needed for multiplication!)
  • Not recognizing when you can simplify before multiplying
