Draw as many rectangles as the whole number you are multiplying by. Then, draw the fraction you are multiplying by in all of the rectangles. Shade in the top number in the fraction [numerator] in your rectangles. Count all the shaded in parts of all your rectangles. Leave the bottom number of your fraction [denominator] the same and put the number you got when you added the shaded parts of the rectangles on top as your denominator of the fraction. That is your answer!

Multiplication: treat just like multiplying binomials (like with a variable x).After multiplying, convert any i² terms to -1.Division: multiply both numerator and denominator by its conjugate, which will make the denominator a real, then divide real part by denominator, and then divide imaginary part by denominator.
