Multiplication and division of fractions worksheets pdf

You are here: Home → Worksheets → Fraction multiplication

Create an unlimited supply of worksheets for multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers (grades 4-7)! The worksheets can be made in html or PDF format — both are easy to print. The html format is even editable. You can also customize them using the generator below.

Children begin their study of fraction multiplication by learning how to multiply a fraction by a whole number (such as 5 × 2/3) — typically in 4th grade. Then in 5th grade, they learn to multiply fractions by fractions and by mixed numbers. In 6th and 7th grades, students simply practice fraction multiplication using larger denominators and more complex problems.

4 Steps to Your Worksheets...

1. Choose your fractions values
2. Choose your answer values
3. Choose the number of questions
4. View your sheet
5. Print your sheet

Fraction Values

You can choose whole number values if you need multiplying and dividing fractions by whole numbers.

You can choose fraction values up to a given denominator value, so that if you choose fifths, then you can get any denominator up to fifths, i.e. halves, thirds, quarters, fifths.

Switch Values

You may want to randomly switch the values of Fraction 1 and Fraction 2, especially if one of the values is a whole number.

If this is selected, it will randomize which fraction has which value - this is particulary useful for whole numbers and fractions.

In this way, you can practice dividing whole numbers by fractions and dividing fractions by whole numbers on the same sheet.

Fraction Types

For the generator you can either choose proper fractions, which is the default, or improper fractions. Proper fractions have a numerator less than the denominator.

Fraction Types

You can select either Unlike Denominators, which is the default, Like Denominators or Denominator Multiples.

If you select Like Denominators, then the denominators will be the same.

If you select Denominator Multiples, then one of the denominators will be a multiple of the other denominator.

If you select 'Improper Fractions' the generator will create both proper and improper fractions.

Operation Type

Choose whether you want Multiplication and Division, just Multiplication or just Division questions.

Missing Factors

Sometimes, you may want to add an extra layer of difficulty by providing a multiplication or division fraction equation where one of the other fractions is missing.

Having this feature turned on will create a missing fraction somewhere in the equation - it may be the first number, second number, or third number.

(Optional) Give your worksheet a title.
