Do Denominators Have Same Multiplying?

Rule for Multiplication of Fractions
When multiplying fractions, simply multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together. Simplify the result. This works whether the denominators are the same or not. If you multiply the fractions 3/2 and 4/3 together, you get 12/6.

Do you multiply the same denominator?

Multiplication of fractions do not require the same denominator, or the bottom number of the fraction, like addition and subtraction does. Instead, you would simply multiply the denominators and the top numerators.

How do you multiply fractions with the same denominator?

Three Easy Steps

Step 1: Multiply the numerators. Step 2: Multiply the denominators. Step 3: Simplify the end result. To simplify means to make the fraction into the smallest numbers possible by finding the largest number that can divide both the numerator and denominator.
