Multiplying fractions is really easy! The rule is: "multiply across"-

You multiply the numerators, and you multiply the denominators. That's all there is to it!

Here are some tricks:

1. Remember, any fraction with a zero in the numerator is just zero. And zero times anything is zero. So you don't have to waste your time multiplying-you know the answer is zero:

2. Any fraction with the same numerator and denominator is equal to 1: 8733/8733=1. And multiplying something by 1 doesn't change it. So again, don't waste your time multiplying:

3. It's easier to simplify before you multiply, rather than after.
