How do you find equivalent fractions?

Two fractions are equivalent when they are both equal when written in lowest terms. The fraction 444 is equal to 111 when reduced to lowest terms. To find equivalent fractions, you just need to multiply the numerator and denominator of that reduced fraction (111) by the same natural number, ie, multiply by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ...

Important: 222 looks like a fraction but it is actually the whole number 11.

• 222 is equivalent to 222 because 11 × 21 × 2 = 222
• 333 is equivalent to 222 because 11 × 31 × 3 = 333
• 444 is equivalent to 222 because 11 × 41 × 4 = 444
• 555 is equivalent to 222 because 11 × 51 × 5 = 555
• 666 is equivalent to 222 because 11 × 61 × 6 = 666
• and so on ...

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

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

Finding equivalent fractions can be easy 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:

• 111 is equivalent to 222 because 11 × 2 = 1 × 22 = 22
• 333 is equivalent to 222 because 33 × 2 = 3 × 22 = 66
• 444 is equivalent to 222 because 44 × 2 = 4 × 22 = 88
