Step 1
Let us take two fractions,
38 and 75
Step 2
If we want to multiply these two numbers we will simply multiply numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator. . For example:
38×75=3×78×5
=2140
Step 3
If we want to divide these two numbers we will reciprocate the number after the division sign and then replace division with multiplication and then we will simply multiply numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator. For example:
38÷75=38×57
=3×58×7
=1556
