To multiply fractions, follow these steps:
- Multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator.
- Multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator.
- Simplify the resulting fraction if possible by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.
For example, to multiply 1/2 x 3/4:
- Multiply the numerators: 1 x 3 = 3
- Multiply the denominators: 2 x 4 = 8
- The resulting fraction is 3/8, which is already in lowest terms, so no need to simplify.
