No, You only need a common denominator when adding or subtracting fractions.
Because it is not how multiplication or division are defined.
Yes. You need common denominators if you want to:Add fractionsSubtract fractionsCompare fractions ("which is larger?")You do not need common denominators to multiply or divide fractions. Thus, in the case of fractions, multiplication and division is actually easier than addition and subtraction.
Fractions are representations of division. The line in a fraction can be read as "divided by." 3/4 = 3 divided by 4
Indeed--fractions are merely an alternative way to represent division. example: 1/2 ----> one divided by two ----> 0.5 ;)

No. Common denominators are needed for addition and subtraction, not multiplication or division.

It helps to reduce fractions.
Fractions are division. 3/4 is the same as 3÷4
It is division.

Multiplying fractions is all about division
In dividing fractions you have to change division to multiplication and change the second fraction into a recipracol(flip the fraction.
Fractions are related to division because the top of the fraction is the numerator or the dividend of the fraction and the bottom of the fraction is the denominator or the divisor of the fraction.
