Step1: First you multiply the numerators (straight across).

Step 2: The second thing you do is multiply the denominators (straight across).

Step 2: The second thing you do is multiply the denominators (straight across).

First you multiply the numerators (2 * 2 = 4) so that means 4 is your denominator. Then you multiply the denominators (4 * 4 =16). Then you find your greatest common factor, which is 4.

Now you solve it and get 4/16 then you simplify and get 2/8 you simplify again and get 1/4. And 1/4 is your simplified answer.
