The algebraic formula for multiplying fractions is a/b * c/d = ac / bd. For example: 2/6 * 1/4 = 2*1 / 6*4 = 2 / 24.Reducing this fraction we get 1/12.

You multiply the numerator or top of the fraction by the other numerator and then you multiply the denominator or the bottom of a fraction by the other denominator.
