To multiply fractions, follow these steps:

1. Multiply the numerators (top numbers) of the fractions together. This will be the new numerator.
2. Multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) of the fractions together. This will be the new denominator.
3. Simplify the fraction if possible by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor.

Example

Let's multiply $\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{4}{5}$:

1. Multiply the numerators: $2 \times 4 = 8$.
2. Multiply the denominators: $3 \times 5 = 15$.
3. So, $\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{8}{15}$.

This fraction cannot be simplified further, so the final answer is $\frac{8}{15}$.
