When multiplying 2 fractions, we multiply the two numerators together and the two denominators together.

if you have mixed numbers you make them into improper fractions before you multiply
Multiplying and dividing integers and rational numbers follow the same fundamental rules. In both cases, the product of two numbers is determined by multiplying their absolute values and applying the appropriate sign rules. Similarly, division involves inverting the divisor and multiplying, maintaining the same sign conventions. Thus, the processes are consistent, with rational numbers simply extending the concept to fractions.
A common misconception is that multiplying fractions always results in a smaller number. While it is true that multiplying two proper fractions (less than one) results in a smaller fraction, multiplying a fraction by a mixed number can yield a larger product if the mixed number is greater than one. Therefore, the statement "Multiplying fractions always results in a smaller number" is not true.

Multiplying fractions is all about division

definition of multiplying fractions?
In order to multiply fractions with variables, factor all numerators and denominators completely. Use the rules for multiplying and dividing fractions, cancel any common factors, and leave your final answer in factored form.
Fractions and decimals are usually rational numbers. Besides, multiplying rational and irrational numbers is also similar.
step by step
Dividing fractions involves flipping the second fraction (taking its reciprocal) and then multiplying. For example, to divide ( \frac{a}{b} ) by ( \frac{c}{d} ), you convert it to ( \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c} ). In contrast, multiplying fractions directly involves multiplying the numerators and the denominators together without any changes. Thus, while both operations involve fractions, the process and the mathematical rules applied are distinctly different.

It is similar because when you divide fractions you are technically multiplying the second number's reciprocal. (Turning the fraction the other way around)
