Product means multiply.

-1/4 * - 3/7


A negative times a negative is a positive, so you can remove the negative sign.

You can multiply straight across, so 1/4 * 3/7 is 3/28's which is already in its simplest form.

Let's set x being the product, then:

x = (-1/4) . (-3/7)

x = 3/28

Hope it helps.
