A whole number can be changed into a fraction by dividing it by one. x = x / 1 From there, the fraction can be changed into different forms by multiplying the top and bottom (the x and the 1 or the numerator and denominator, if you prefer) by another number. Try some examples. 3 = 3/1 3/1 x 3/3 = 9/3 2 = 2/1 2/1 x 2/2 = 4/2 13 = 13/1 6 = 6/1 13/1 x 8/8 = 104/8 We picked an example number. We then divided it by one. We then multiplied it by one (which does not change its value), only the one we picked is a fraction made by picking any number and dividing it by that same number.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
