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:

  • 201 is equivalent to 402 because 20 × 2 = 1 × 40 = 40
  • 603 is equivalent to 402 because 60 × 2 = 3 × 40 = 120
  • 804 is equivalent to 402 because 80 × 2 = 4 × 40 = 160
