What is 16/96 x 10/6?

What is 16/96 x 10/6?

Here's how to multiply

16
96
 x
10
6

Step 1

Multiplying two fractions is easier than adding them. You just multiply the numerators times each other, then do the same with the denominators.

So we multiply 16 by 10, and get 160.

Then we multiply 96 by 6, and get 576.

And the result looks like this:

160
576

Step 2

Last of all, we need to simplify the fraction, if possible. Can it be reduced to a simpler fraction?

To find out, we try dividing it by 2...

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:

160
576
 ÷ 2 =
80
288

Let's try dividing by 2 again...

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:

80
288
 ÷ 2 =
40
144

Let's try dividing by 2 again...

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:

40
144
 ÷ 2 =
20
72

Let's try dividing by 2 again...

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:

20
72
 ÷ 2 =
10
36

Let's try dividing by 2 again...

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:

10
36
 ÷ 2 =
5
18

Let's try dividing by 2 again...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 3...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 5...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 7...

No good. 7 is larger than 5. So we're done reducing.

There you have it! The final answer is:

16
96
 x
10
6
 =
5
18
