If the numerator and denominator are the same then the fraction is 1. If not, it is not.
This follows from the property of 1, the multiplicative identity.
For all real (or complex) numbers, x, other than 0, there is a unique number, usually denoted by x-1 or 1/x such that x*x-1 or x*1/x = 1. The consequence is that any number divided by itself is 1. Not only that, but if it is divided by any other number, the uniqueness of the inverse implies that the answer cannot be 1.

How do you multiply a fraction by a negative number?
Using the same principles as multiplying a negative whole number by a positive whole number, where the result would be a negative, the product of a (positive) fraction and a negative whole number would equal the product of the two, with the minus sign included. For example, 1/2 x -4 = -2. The same rule can be applied the other way around, multiplying a negative fraction by a positive number would produce the same result.
