Abstract: When $A$ and $B$ are subsets of the integers in $[1,X]$ and $[1,Y]$ respectively, with $|A|geqalphaX$ and $$, we show that the number of rational numbers expressible as $a/b$ with $(a,b)$ in $AimesB$ is $$ for any $epsilon>0$, where the implied constant depends on $epsilon$ alone. We then construct examples that show that this bound cannot in general be improved to $$. We also resolve the natural generalisation of our problem to arbitrary subsets $C$ of the integer points in $[1,X]imes[1,Y]$. Finally, we apply our results to answer a question of S'ark"ozy concerning the differences of consecutive terms of the product sequence of a given integer sequence.
