To multiply fractions you multiply both numerators (the top numbers) and both denominators (the bottom numbers) to get your answer.
For example:
1/4 x 2/3 = (1 x 2) / (4 x 3) = 2/12 (or 1/6)
A general rule for multiplying fractions: You shall not multiply the denominator by the whole number,only the numerator.Another rule is you shall make the whole number as a fraction by putting the whole number as the numerator and 1 as the denominator before multiplying it.
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
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.

definition of multiplying fractions?
Multiplying fractions is all about division
Fractions and decimals are usually rational numbers. Besides, multiplying rational and irrational numbers is also similar.
When multiplying 2 fractions, we multiply the two numerators together and the two denominators together.
step by step
if you have mixed numbers you make them into improper fractions before you multiply
The product of two fractions is equal to the two numerators multiplied together divided by the two denominators multiplied together. (a/x) * (b/y) = (a * b) / (x * y)
It is similar because when you divide fractions you are technically multiplying the second number's reciprocal. (Turning the fraction the other way around)
