\begin{align*}
(x_1+\Delta x_1)\times (x_2+\Delta x_2) &= x_1x_2\left (1+\frac{\Delta x_1}{x_1}\right)\left (1+\frac{\Delta x_2}{x_2}\right ) \\ &= x_1x_2\left (1+\frac{\Delta x_1}{x_1}+\frac{\...

Understanding uncertainty calculations?
This is more of an Algebraic problem, but since it relates to measurements I suppose it does have some bearing on Physics.
Let's generalize your problem a bit, let's call the two measured values $m_1$ ...
