What are Equivalent Fractions?

Equivalent fractions are fractions with different numbers representing the same part of a whole. They have different numerators and denominators, but their fractional values are the same.

For example, think about the fraction 1/2. It means half of something. You can also say that 6/12 is half, and that 50/100 is half. They represent the same part of the whole. These equivalent fractions contain different numbers but they mean the same thing: 1/2 = 6/12 = 50/100

How to Find Equivalent Fractions

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same whole number. As long as you multiply both top and bottom of the fraction by the same number, you won't change the value of the fraction, and you'll create an equivalent fraction.

Example Equivalent Fractions

Find fractions equivalent to 3/4 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same whole number:

\( \dfrac{3}{4} \times \dfrac{2}{2} = \dfrac{6}{8} \)

\( \dfrac{3}{4} \times \dfrac{3}{3} = \dfrac{9}{12} \)

\( \dfrac{3}{4} \times \dfrac{4}{4} = \dfrac{12}{16} \)

\( \dfrac{3}{4} \times \dfrac{5}{5} = \dfrac{15}{20} \)

\( \dfrac{3}{4} \times \dfrac{6}{6} = \dfrac{18}{24} \)

Therefore these are all equivalent fractions:

\( \dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{6}{8} = \dfrac{9}{12} = \dfrac{15}{20} = \dfrac{18}{24} \)

Note that if you reduce all of these fractions to lowest terms, they equal 3/4.

How do you find equivalent fractions?

Two frations are equivalent when they have the same value when written in lowest terms. The fraction 16/24 is equal to 2/3 when reduced to lowest terms. To find equivalent fractions, just multiply the numerator and denominator of that reduced fraction (2/3) by any interger number, ie, multiply by 2, 3, 10, 30 ...

• 4/6 is equivalent to 8/12 because 2 x 2 = 4 and 3 x 2 = 6
• 6/9 is equivalent to 8/12 because 2 x 3 = 6 and 3 x 3 = 9
• 8/12 is equivalent to 8/12 because 2 x 3 = 8 and 3 x 3 = 12

Equivalent fractions may look different, but when you reduce then to the lowest terms you will get the same value. If any fraction is not reduced to lowest terms, you can get other equivalent fractions just dividing both numerator and denominator by the same number.

To find an equivalent fraction to 812, or to any other fraction, you just need to multiply (or divide, if the fraction is not yet reduced), both the numerator and the denominator of the given fraction by any non-zero natural number. For example:

By dividing the original fraction by 4, we get:

8 ÷ 4 12 ÷ 4 = 23

By multiplying the original fraction by 2, we get:

8 × 2 12 × 2 = 1624

How to find equivalent fractions?

Two fractions are equivalent when they are both equal when written in lowest terms. The fraction 1624 is equal to 23 when reduced to lowest terms. To find equivalent fractions, you just need to multiply the numerator and denominator of that reduced fraction (23) by the same natural number, ie, multiply by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ...

Important: 812 looks like a fraction, but it is actually an improper fraction.

• 46 is equivalent to 812 because 2 × 23 × 2 = 46
• 69 is equivalent to 812 because 2 × 33 × 3 = 69
• 812 is equivalent to 812 because 2 × 43 × 4 = 812
• 1015 is equivalent to 812 because 2 × 53 × 5 = 1015
• and so on ...

At a glance, equivalent fractions look different, but if you reduce then to the lowest terms you will get the same value showing that they are equivalent. If a given fraction is not reduced to lowest terms, you can find other equivalent fractions by dividing both numerator and denominator by the same number.

What is an equivalent fraction? How to know if two fractions are equivalent?

Finding equivalent fractions can be ease if you use this rule:

Equivalent fractions definition: two fractions ab and cd are equivalent only if the product (multiplication) of the numerator (a) of the first fraction and the denominator (d) of the other fraction is equal to the product of the denominator (b) of the first fraction and the numerator (c) of the other fraction.

In other words, if you cross-multiply (ab and cd) the equality will remain, i.e, a.d = b.c. So, here are some examples:

• 23 is equivalent to 812 because 2 × 12 = 3 × 8 = 24
• 46 is equivalent to 812 because 4 × 12 = 6 × 8 = 48
• 69 is equivalent to 812 because 6 × 12 = 9 × 8 = 72
