What else can I help you with?
When multiplying fractions the shortcut process of finding common factors that divide evenly into at least one of the numerator and one of the denominator is called?
It is called simplification [by cancelling common factors].
What is the answer to this question give an example of two fractions whose product is an integer due to common factors?
give an example of two fractions whose product equals 1
What is the differeince between common factors and common multiples?
Common factors go into the numbers, the numbers go into common multiples.
What is the trick to finding the greatest common factors?
Finding the GCF will help you when you are trying to reduce fractions.
Greatest common factor life application?
One common application of greatest common factors is to simplify fractions. Note that you don't necessarily need the GREATEST common factor; you can simplify by dividing both numbers by any common factor, and then continue looking for additional factors.
What do you do when you mutpiling fractions with common dennmonters?
Exactly the same as you do when multiplying fractions with different denominators. -- Multiply numerators . . . the product is the numeratore of the answer. -- Multiply denominators . . . the product is the denominator of the answer.
Why does cross multiplying with fractions work?
When cross multiplying, finding the product of the means and extremes, you are technically getting a common denominator that reduces out.
When multiplying factions you can divide common factors so that the product will be in?
simplest form
What is cross cancelling when you times fractions?
Cross cancelling is a simplification method used when multiplying fractions. It involves reducing the numerators and denominators across the fractions before performing the multiplication. By dividing common factors, you can simplify the calculation, making it easier and quicker to find the product. For example, in the multiplication of ( \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{c}{d} ), if ( a ) and ( d ) share a common factor, you can divide both by that factor before multiplying the fractions.
When you are multiplying fractions do you find the common denominator?
no
Do you need a common denominator multiplying fractions?
No.
What statement about multiplying fractions and mixed numbers is not true?
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.

Do you need a common denominator for dividing and multiplying fractions?
No you do not.
How do you multiply fractions with variables?
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.
What is an common multiple of the denominators for two or more fractions?
Multiplying the denominators together of two or more unlike fractions will get you a common multiple.
