Multiplying and Dividing Fractions
Practice multiplying and dividing fractions one step at a time by simplifying when possible, using the reciprocal for division, multiplying across, and writing the final answer in simplest form.

Solve Each Problem Step by Step
Instead of entering only the final answer, you will work through the important parts of each multiplication or division problem.
Simplify Before Multiplying
Cancel common factors across the numerators and denominators when possible.
Multiply Across
Multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together.
Simplify the Result
Reduce the final fraction or write it as a whole number when appropriate.

Answer
Step 1
Rewrite the problem if needed.
For division, keep the first fraction, change division to multiplication, and flip the second fraction. Multiplication problems stay the same.
Step 2
Simplify before multiplying.
Cancel common factors across a numerator and a denominator. If nothing cancels, enter the fractions unchanged.
Step 3
Multiply the fractions.
Multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together.
Step 4
Write the final answer.
Simplify the product if needed. If the answer is a whole number, enter it using the numerator box only when the tool displays a single answer box.
Great job!
You completed every step correctly.
Remember
Fraction Multiplication and Division Rules
Multiply Straight Across
Multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator.
2/3 × 4/5 = 8/15
Keep, Change, Flip
Keep the first fraction, change division to multiplication, and flip the second fraction.
2/3 ÷ 4/5 = 2/3 × 5/4
Simplify When Possible
Cancel common factors before multiplying or reduce the final fraction afterward.
6/8 = 3/4
