AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a rectangle ABCD and demonstrate the process of fraction multiplication through geometric construction. Start by drawing a grid of equally divided line segments from point A, using AB and AD as the sides. Then, construct two rectangles, Fraction1 and Fraction2, using these line segments to represent the multiplication of two fractions. Use the GCD function to find the least common multiple of these fractions and further construct and intersect them to obtain the result rectangle Result. This process visually illustrates the geometric meaning of fraction multiplication.
