How to Multiply Fractions
Multiplying fractions is simpler than adding or subtracting them. Here are the steps:
- Multiply the numerators - Multiply the top numbers together.
- Multiply the denominators - Multiply the bottom numbers together.
- Simplify if possible - Reduce the result to its simplest form.
Example
Let's multiply 2/3 × 3/4:
- Multiply numerators: 2 × 3 = 6
- Multiply denominators: 3 × 4 = 12
- Result is 6/12
- 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
