#multiply fractions

Fractions are sometimes the most annoying terms in mathematics, physics, engineering and many other fields. The operations with them are often considered headache for the students, teachers, mathematicians, engineers, chemists, scientists. They take most of the time in mathematics, and everyone tries to cope with these type of questions. It is easier to solve the smaller numbers that are in fractions but dealing with the huge numbers can be a very tiresome process, and you may have to do a lot of calculations for that. When people have to make calculations that are related to numbers greater than 20, there always a possibility of some error in calculation.

This tool has made my life easier. Fractions are the most devilish form of mathematics. Thank you for providing this on the internet. I owe you one (mike tesla)

This is an amazing piece of help. It’s like I’m pro in mathematics now. I usually save many hours my just using this online tool. Amazing work! Loved it (George henry)

I have been looking something like this for my professional assignments. I had to stay late in office due to complex problems I had to solve. Now it doesn’t happen anymore. I have a secret weapon that helps me during my work. Everyone at office considers me a math genius now. Boss is very much happy with me. I am not going to tell anyone at the office about this tool. It’s a life savvier (Orio Jukarti)

If students ask how to multiply fractions!

Fractions can be one of the challenging math topics. Fractions are not that hard if kids start to learn them as early as in grade one. In elementary grades, basic fractions topics such as equivalent fractions and comparing fractions are learned, though.

Multiplying fractions does not come into students' way till grade seven. By this time, kids who are good at times tables, greatest common factor and reducing fractions, can learn multiplying fractions easily.

To multiply two fractions, following steps can be followed:

1. Reduce the fractions, you want to multiply, into lowest terms if it is possible.

2. Reduce fractions using the numerator of one fractions with the denominator of the other, if possible.

3. Once fractions have reduced into lowest terms, then multiply both the numerators to get the new numerator and multiply both the denominators to get the denominator of the answering fractions.

4. Make sure the answering fraction is in it's lowest terms.

5. If the answering fraction obtained after multiplying fractions, is improper fraction, rater convert it into a mixed number.

Below is a step by step lesson on how to multiply fractions:

Rational and Irrational Numbers

Rational and irrational numbers are taught in grade nine math. Students start learning rational numbers from grade six, but irrational numbers are introduced in grade nine (in most schools).

When I start teaching grade nine students, they look very confused about these two kinds of numbers. Let's take on these both types of numbers one by one.

Rational numbers: 

In the real number system, rational numbers are the fractions (mainly). Any number that can be written in the form "p/q", where "p" and "q" are both integers and "q" is not equal to zero, is called the rational number. There is a letter symbol of "Q" to denote them.

For example; 2/3 and -2/3 are both the examples of rational number. But they are not limited to fractions only. All the terminating (ending) decimals and repeating decimals are the in the this category.

For example; 2.5, - 2.5, 5.009 and repeating decimals like 0.3333... and 2.666.... fall under the symbol Q. Also, all the integers can be changed to fractions by making one as their denominator; hence all the integers such as - 5, - 4, - 3, 0, 1, 2, 3 and so on fall in this category.

Therefore rational numbers contain a variety of numbers in them. Below there are more example of rational numbers.

0, 1, -1, 2, -2, 0.56, 3.125, 3/6,-5/2, 3.22222...., 0.99999....

Irrational Numbers:

These are defined as the non-repeating and non-terminating decimals. In other words, if a decimal is not ending and numbers after decimals are not in a pattern that number is a rational number.

These kinds of numbers are obtained when square root of a number (which is not a perfect square) is calculated.

For example; 3.013004751224... is an irrational number.

Look at the pattern after the decimal are not in a pattern and no body can predict what is coming after last digit "4" and also this is a non-terminating decimal.

If we find the square root of number "2" using the calculator, we find a decimal which is an irrational number. Similarly the square root of number "3" falls in the same category.

But be careful in case of perfect squares such as "4", as the square root of four is "2" which is a natural number and hence a rational number but not an irrational number because four is a perfect square. Similarly all other perfect squares like, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144 and so on should be cared about their category. Similarly the square root of next perfect square "9" is "3" which is not an irrational.

I always ask my students to remember the irrational number as they are non-ending and non-repeating decimals and everything else is rational numbers.
