There are an infinite number of fractions that could reduce to 2/5. As long as you multiply both the numerator and denominator of 2/5 by the same number (as long as this number is not 1), you will get another fraction that will then reduce to 2/5.

-5:

2*-5 = -10

5*-5 = -25

-10/-25 = 2/5

4/3:

2*(4/3) = 8/3

5*(4/3) = 20/3

(8/3)/(20/3) = (8/3)*(3/20) = 8/20 = 4/10 = 2/5

Any number, as long as both the numerator and denominator are multiplied by it, will yield a fraction that will then reduce to 2/5.
