Reciprocal
EXAMPLE: 2/3 x 3/2 = 1
You multiply the two fractions. To multiply two fractions, the numerator of the result is the product of the numerators, and the denominator of the result is the product of the denominators.
The two fractions are 1/6 and 3/8
When you multiply any two numbers, the answer is their product.
The numerator (top) of the answer is the product of the numerators of the two fractions. The denominator (bottom) of the answer is the product of the denominators of the two fractions. You may then need to simplify.For example,2/5 * 3/8 = (2*3)/(5*8) = 6/40 = 3/20The numerator (top) of the answer is the product of the numerators of the two fractions. The denominator (bottom) of the answer is the product of the denominators of the two fractions. You may then need to simplify.For example,2/5 * 3/8 = (2*3)/(5*8) = 6/40 = 3/20The numerator (top) of the answer is the product of the numerators of the two fractions. The denominator (bottom) of the answer is the product of the denominators of the two fractions.

No, it is not.

Not necessarily. The product of their denominators is a common denominator, but might not be the smallest. For instance, the LCD of one tenth and one twentieth is 20.
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.
1/3 1/2 = 2/6 which is 1/3
The two pairs of numbers are (1, 1/2) and (-1/2, -1).
