   A compound fraction is a fraction of a fraction, or any number of fractions connected with the word of, [22] [23] corresponding to multiplication of fractions. To reduce a compound fraction to a simple fraction, just carry out the multiplication (see § Multiplication).

   Cuisenaire rods illustrating the factors of ten A demonstration the first pair of amicable numbers, (220,284). Cuisenaire rods are mathematics learning aids for pupils that provide an interactive, hands-on [1] way to explore mathematics and learn mathematical concepts, such as the four basic arithmetical operations, working with fractions and finding divisors.

4. Cross-multiplication - Wikipedia

   are solved using cross-multiplication, since the missing b term is implicitly equal to 1: =. Any equation containing fractions or rational expressions can be simplified by multiplying both sides by the least common denominator. This step is called clearing fractions.

5. Multiplication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication

   Systematic generalizations of this basic definition define the multiplication of integers (including negative numbers), rational numbers (fractions), and real numbers. Multiplication can also be visualized as counting objects arranged in a rectangle (for whole numbers) or as finding the area of a rectangle whose sides have some given lengths.

6. Unit fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_fraction

   Multiplying two unit fractions produces another unit fraction, but other arithmetic operations do not preserve unit fractions. In modular arithmetic, unit fractions can be converted into equivalent whole numbers, allowing modular division to be transformed into multiplication.

7. Multiplication and repeated addition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_and...

   Multiplication is often defined for natural numbers, then extended to whole numbers, fractions, and irrational numbers. However, abstract algebra has a more general definition of multiplication as a binary operation on some objects that may or may not be numbers. Notably, one can multiply complex numbers, vectors, matrices, and quaternions.
