To multiply these fractions, you multiply the numerators (top numbers) to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) to get the new denominator. Thus, the calculation is:
(8/14) * (7/16) = (8 * 7) / (14 * 16) = 56/224
To simplify this fraction, you find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which is 8. Then, divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD:
56/224 = (56 ÷ 8) / (224 ÷ 8) = 7/28
Therefore, the simplified answer is 7/28.
(8/14) * (7/16) = (8 * 7) / (14 * 16) = 56/224
