2 4 8
Thus, the fractions that represent the same part of a whole or have the same value
are called equivalent fractions.

and denominator of a fraction by the same non-zero number.

×2 ×2 ×2 ×2 Multiply the
numerator and
For example, 1 = 2 = 4 8 16 the denominator
2 4 8 16 32 by the same
×2 ×2 ×2 ×2 number.

÷3 ÷3 ÷3 ÷3 Divide the
Similarly, 81 = 27 = 9 3 1 numerator and
243 81 27 9 3 the denominator
÷3 ÷3 ÷3 ÷3 by the same
number.
