No! You can multiply fractions without common denominators. For example:

2/4 + 7/1

Multiply straight across.

The answer is then 14/4 or 3.5

No, you do not need to find a common denominator when multiplying fractions. To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. However, finding a common denominator can be helpful when simplifying the resulting fraction.
