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.
How can you determine if the least common multiple of 2 numbers is the product of the 2 numbers or less than the product of the 2 numbers?
If the GCF of a given pair of numbers is 1, the LCM will be equal to their product. If the GCF is greater than 1, the LCM will be less than their product. Or, stated another way, if the two numbers have no common prime factors, their LCM will be their product.
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?

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.
When multiplying fractions when they have same common denominator do you multiply the denominators?
YES.
How can a number be equivalent fractions when they have no common factors?
You may have answered your own question. Equivalent fractions have common factors. If they don't have common factors, they aren't equivalent.
