The chart to the right shows the strengths and weaknesses of the Fighting type on every possible type combination. The bottom row shows its strength against single-type pokemon.

The numbers in the squares show the fraction of normal damage the move will do (i.e. ½ means 50% damage, while 4 means 400%).

For example, to find how good a Fighting-type move is against a Grass/Poison Pokémon, find the square that cross-references those types. You will see that it is 50%.
