Learn how to use cross-cancellation to simplify fractions before multiplying or dividing them. Find out the systematic method, the GCF shortcut, and the difference between cross-cancellation and cross-multiplication.
Conclusion In conclusion, cross-cancelling is a useful shortcut for simplifying fractions in multiplication problems. By looking for and canceling any common factors between the numerators and denominators of the fractions, you can quickly reduce the complexity of the problem.
This fraction worksheet is great for working on multiplying fractions and practicing cross cancelling. The problems may be selected for four different degrees of difficulty.

Whether you are multiplying fractions that include negative numbers, mixed numbers, or improper fractions you’ll find that it’s a lot easier to simplify the problem before you do the actual multiplication step. Cross cancelling is …
These multiplying fraction worksheets contain numerators and denominators that are specifically designed to create opportunities for cross cancelling and the answer keys show the cross cancelling operations as well. For more examples, be sure to check out the Multiplying Fractions Calculator and try more example problems there.
Cross-cancellation is a method to simplify the fractions before you multiply them. Learn how to use cross-cancellation when multiplying fractions.
Cross cancelling is basically simplifying before you multiply, but, don't just simplify the fractions the normal way, instead cross-cancel. Cross-cancelling also makes it easier to multiply if using large numbers.
Learn how to simplify fraction multiplications before you multiply. This is frequently called cancelling or cross-cancelling. It is an alternate strategy to in place of simplifying your fraction ...
Example 2: Multiply by dividing out common factors. Analysis: Divide 15 into 15. Divide 2 into 14 and 16. Solution: The following is the procedure for multiplying fractions with cancelling of factors. Procedure: To multiply fractions by cancelling common factors, divide out factors that are common to both a numerator and a denominator. The factor being divided out can appear in any numerator ...
Through cancellation we know this ends in 1/2 because the common factor of the numerator "2" and denomaninator "4" is 2, so we divide both by "2" and end with new numbers in place, we also know that the common factor of numerator "3" and denominator "3" is "3" which equals "1" in both places, so it makes the work of "reducing to lowest terms ...
Learn how to quickly and easily multiply fractions. We'll also go over how to use the cross cancellation method to make multiplying more complex fractions a lot easier.
