Multiplying fractions involves the straightforward formula: \(\dfrac{a}{b} \cdot \dfrac{c}{d} = \dfrac{a \cdot c}{b \cdot d}\). This method requires multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together. Additionally, the discussion covers the operations of division, addition, and subtraction of fractions, providing formulas for each: division as \(\dfrac{a}{b} : \dfrac{c}{d} = \dfrac{a \cdot d}{b \cdot c}\), addition as \(\dfrac{a}{b} + \dfrac{c}{d} = \dfrac{a \cdot d + b \cdot c}{b \cdot d}\), and subtraction as \(\dfrac{a}{b} - \dfrac{c}{d} = \dfrac{a \cdot d - b \cdot c}{b \cdot d}\).
