When you multiply a fraction, you are dividing by the denominator. You do not need to change anything to divide.
For example:
12 x 5/6
This is saying, take 12 and multiply by 5 and divide it by 6.
and in
3/4 x 5/6
You are saying, multiply 3 and 5 then divide by 4 and 6. When you divide by a 4 and by a 6 are are actually dividing by the product of 4 and 6. So, all you have to do is multiply the numerators then multiply the denominators and do any reducing if needed.
So,
3/4 x 5/6 = 15/24 = 5/8

When you multiply two fractions do you need to find a common deniminator first?
No. Fractions don't need the same denominator in order to multiply them. The numerator of their product is simply the product of their numerators, and the denominator of their product is just the product of their denominators.
What do you do to the numerator in a lowest common denominator problem?
Multiply the numerator of the fraction by the same amount that you multiply the denominator of that fraction.
When do you multiply a numerator and a denominator?
