Multiply: 1/12 * 4/5
 
 


Give your answer as a fraction, reduced to lowest terms

To multiply two fractions, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators:

\[
\frac{1}{12} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{1 \times 4}{12 \times 5} = \frac{4}{60}
\]

Now, reduce \(\frac{4}{60}\) to its lowest terms. The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 4 and 60 is 4, so divide both the numerator and denominator by 4:

\[
\frac{4}{60} = \frac{4 \div 4}{60 \div 4} = \frac{1}{15}
\]

Thus, the product of \(\frac{1}{12} \times \frac{4}{5}\) is \(\frac{1}{15}\).
