Learn More About Multiplying Fractions

Multiplying fractions is one of the easier tasks to complete because there are not as many rules. Below is a step by step guide in how to multiply proper, improper, and mixed fractions.

General Rules
If both fractions have a numerator and a denominator, the rules are very simple:
  1. Multiply the numerators (top numbers)
  2. Multiply the denominators (bottom numbers)
  3. Simplify if needed
For a refresher on how to multiply numbers, check out our Multiplication page.

Fractions and Whole Numbers
If you are trying to multiply a fraction by a whole number, convert the whole number into a fraction by giving it a denominator of 1 (3 would become 3⁄1 ), and then follow the general rules of multiplying fractions.

Mixed Fractions

  1. Convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction
  2. Multiply the fractions by using the general rules
  3. Convert the product back to a mixed fraction
