Multiply the denominators (the bottom numbers) together.

That's it! Your result is the new fraction. If you want to, you can simplify the new fraction to its lowest terms. For example, to multiply $\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{3}{4}$:

$\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{\mathrm{1\; \; x\; \; 3}}{\mathrm{2\; \; x\; \; 4}}=\frac{3}{8}$
