**Multiplication: FFF (Fraction Form first)
1.)    Rename any mixed numbers or whole numbers so that they are in fraction form.
2.)  Simplify diagonally if possible.
3.)  Multiply across
**Division: FFF (Fraction Form first)
                 KCF (Keep the first number the same, change division to mult., flip the second number). Then follow multiplication rules.
