"Factions"? I think you mean "Fractions"! :-)

Multipy the numerator by the integer and divide by the denominator (by cancelling) to simplify; or divide first then multiply, whichever is the simpler for the given sum.

E.g. 12 X 3/4

= 36/4

= 9

Or In the opposite order AND with an improper fraction to show it still works:

E.g. 45 X 7/5

= 9 X 7 (cancelling the 5 & 45 first is easier than "45 X 7 then divide by 5")

= 63.

(A "faction" is a group within a larger community holding a particular, strong view. There are many who'd happily divide factions!)
