Cross multiplication can only be used when solving equations of the form a/b = c/d, where a, b, c and d are numbers, variables or algebraic expressions. Also, neither denominator can take a value of zero.

When cross-multiplying, the expression a/b = c/d can be re-expressed as ad = bc.

Cross-simplification is a technique used to simplify the multiplication of fractions. It is possible when the fractions have common factors that can be divided out. For example the multiplication of the fractions 6/2 * 2/5 = (6*2)/(2*5). The 2's can be simplified out so that the multiplication is simply 6/1 * 1/5 = 6/5.
