Suppose the two fractions, in their simplest form, are a/b and c/d, that is to say, a and b have no common factors, and neither do ca nd d. You want to find the quotient: (a/b) / (c/d). Now, dividing by (c/d) is the same as multiplying by (d/c). So the required quotient is the same as (a/b) * (d/c) or (a*d)/(b*c) . Multiply a and d for the numerator, b abd c for the denominator (after eliminating any factors that are common to a and c, and to b and d). That is your answer.
Variables can be any number, which leaves an infinite possibility of factors.
A factor of a integer is an integer that divides the second integer into a third integer exactly; i.e. A is a factor of B if B/A is exactly C, where all of A, B and C are integers. A prime factor is a factor as above, but is also a prime number. This means that the only factors of that factor are one and the number itself; i.e. A is a prime factor of B if B/A is exactly C andthe only factors of A are 1 and A.
