You multiply or divide numerator and denominator by the same number. For example, 1/2 = 3/6 (multiplying numerator and denominator by 3). You often need to do this to (a) convert fractions to a common denominator, and (b) simplify fractions (it is awkward if you present a final result as 113/226, and later find out that this is really equivalent to 1/2).
