consider a/b * c/d
check whether a/b and c/d are in simplest form. if not make them..
if they are then check whether a/d and c/b are in simple form. if no make them.
if they are then the answer is going to be a simple fraction.
example 3/8 * 12/5
the given fractions are already in simple form. now check whether 3/5 and 12/8 are in simple form. 12/ 8 is not in simple form. so canceling the multiple 4 12/8 = 3/2
now all fractions are simple therefore now the multiplication becomes 3/2 * 3/5 = 9/10
