Multiplying Fractions Calculator
Enter two fractions to find their product, simplified to lowest terms.
The Multiplying Fractions Calculator helps you instantly multiply two fractions together and simplify the result, whether you're working with simple fractions like 1/2 or mixed fractions like 2 3/4. No more multiplying numerators and denominators by hand — just enter your fractions and get the exact answer.
🔢 What Does It Mean to Multiply Fractions?
Multiplying fractions means finding a fractional part of a fractional part. Unlike adding or subtracting, fraction multiplication doesn't need a common denominator — you simply multiply the numerators together and the denominators together, then simplify.
📐 Fraction Multiplication Formula
The result is then simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). For mixed fractions, each mixed number is first converted to an improper fraction using whole × denominator + numerator (keeping the whole number's sign), then the same formula applies.
✍️ Example Calculation:
Suppose you want to multiply 2/3 by 3/4 (simple fractions).
For mixed fractions, suppose you multiply 1 1/2 by 2 1/3.
3/2 × 7/3 = (3×7) ÷ (2×3) = 21/6 = 7/2 = 3 1/2
