Step 1: Write both numbers as fractions

A whole number is written over 1, and a mixed number becomes an improper fraction: multiply the whole part by the denominator and add the numerator.

21 = 21/1

Step 2: Multiply across

Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. No common denominator is needed — that is only for addition and subtraction.
