The numerator of the result is the product of the numerators; the denominator of the result is the product of the denominators. It is recommended to simplify before carrying out the actual multiplication. Here is an example:

10/17 x 8/15

Multiplying numerators and denominators (just indicate the multiplication at first):

(10x8) / (17/15)

10 and 15 have the common factor 5, so you can divide both by 5:

(2x8) / (17/3)

Since no further simplifications are possible, carry out the multiplication:

16 / 53
