Identify numbers: Step 1: Identify the numbers to be multiplied. We have two fractions, 31 and 51.
Multiply numerators and denominators: Step 2: Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. 1×1=1 for the numerators, and 3×5=15 for the denominators. So, 31×51=151.
Check for simplification: Step 3: Check the result for any possible simplification. The fraction151 is already in its simplest form, as 1 is the smallest numerator possible and 15 has no common factors with 1.
