Fraction Multiplication Calculator

This free fraction multiplication calculator allows you to multiply two fractions and get the result in its simplest form. It multiplies the numerators and denominators directly and then simplifies the fraction automatically.

Result will appear here.

Understanding Fraction Multiplication

Multiplying fractions is straightforward: multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Then, simplify the resulting fraction.

Example: 2/3 × 4/5

Step 1: Multiply numerators → 2 × 4 = 8
Step 2: Multiply denominators → 3 × 5 = 15
Step 3: Result → 8/15 (already simplified)

How the Calculator Works

The calculator automatically:

Step 1: Multiplies the numerators

Step 2: Multiplies the denominators

Step 3: Simplifies the resulting fraction using GCD

Step 4: Displays the final simplified fraction instantly

Examples

1. 3/4 × 2/5 → 6/20 → simplified 3/10

2. 5/8 × 4/9 → 20/72 → simplified 5/18

3. 7/12 × 3/7 → 21/84 → simplified 1/4

Why Fraction Multiplication Matters

Multiplying fractions is widely used in mathematics, science, cooking, construction, finance, and probability. Correct multiplication ensures accurate calculations in real-world applications.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

One common mistake is forgetting to simplify the resulting fraction.

Another mistake is confusing addition rules with multiplication rules.

Important: Multiply numerators and denominators directly, don't find common denominators.

Correct: Always simplify the result to lowest terms and handle negative signs properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can fractions be negative?

Yes. Negative signs are handled automatically in the result.

Can mixed numbers be multiplied?

Yes. Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions first.

Does it simplify automatically?

Yes. The result is always shown in the lowest terms.

Conclusion

Multiplying fractions is essential in both academic and practical situations. This fraction multiplication calculator provides fast, accurate, and simplified results instantly.

Use it for homework, recipes, measurements, or any situation requiring accurate fraction multiplication.
