This makes the fractions simplify to the same value. Let\u2019s discuss two ways to find equivalent fractions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Multiply numerator and denominator by the same number.<\/li>\n<li>Divide numerator and denominator by the same number.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Multiply_Numerator_and_Denominator_by_the_Same_Number\"><\/span>Multiply Numerator and Denominator by the Same Number<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To find equivalent fractions, you can multiply both the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number. For example, if we want an equivalent fraction of <sup>3<\/sup>\u2044<sub>4<\/sub>, we can multiply both its numerator and denominator by 2. Therefore, <sup>6<\/sup>\u2044<sub>8<\/sub> is another fraction that has the same value as <sup>3<\/sup>\u2044<sub>4<\/sub>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Illustration:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><sup>3<\/sup>\u2044<sub>4<\/sub> \u00d7 2 = <sup>6<\/sup>\u2044<sub>8<\/sub><\/p>\n<p><sup>3<\/sup>\u2044<sub>4<\/sub> \u00d7 3 = <sup>9<\/sup>\u2044<sub>12<\/sub><\/p>\n<p><sup>3<\/sup>\u2044<sub>4<\/sub> \u00d7 4 = <sup>12<\/sup>\u2044<sub>16<\/sub><\/p>\n<p><sup>3<\/sup>\u2044<sub>4<\/sub> \u00d7 5 = <sup>15<\/sup>\u2044<sub>20<\/sub><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Divide_Numerator_and_Denominator_by_the_Same_Number\"><\/span>Divide Numerator and Denominator by the Same Number<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can also find equivalent fractions by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by a common factor. For example, to find an equivalent fraction for <sup>72<\/sup>\u2044<sub>108<\/sub>, we can divide both by 2, resulting in <sup>36<\/sup>\u2044<sub>54<\/sub>.<\/p>\n<p>For further simplification:<\/p>\n<p>Divide <sup>36<\/sup>\u2044<sub>54<\/sub> by 2: <sup>18<\/sup>\u2044<sub>27<\/sub><\/p>\n<p>Then divide <sup>18<\/sup>\u2044<sub>27<\/sub> by 3: <sup>6<\/sup>\u2044<sub>9<\/sub><\/p>\n<p>Finally, divide <sup>6<\/sup>\u2044<sub>9<\/sub> by 3: <sup>2<\/sup>\u2044<sub>3<\/sub><\/p>\n<p>So, some equivalent fractions for <sup>72<\/sup>\u2044<sub>108<\/sub> are <sup>36<\/sup>\u2044<sub>54<\/sub>, <sup>18<\/sup>\u2044<sub>27<\/sub>, <sup>6<\/sup>\u2044<sub>9<\/sub>, and <sup>2<\/sup>\u2044<sub>3<\/sub> in its simplest form.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><button style=\"width: 50%;\"><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/online-mock-tests?utm_source=surge&amp;utm_medium=interlinking\"><strong>Free Online Mock Tests For IIT-JEE, NEET And CBSE Exams<\/strong><\/a><\/button><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_know_if_two_fractions_are_equivalent\"><\/span>How do you know if two fractions are equivalent?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To check if two fractions are equivalent, simplify them to their simplest forms.
