For fractions in their simplest form (e.g. 1/2, 2/5), multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number (except 0) to form equivalent fractions.

Example: for 1/2 the first few equivalent fractions are 2/4, 3/6, 4/6, and 5/10.

For fractions not in simplest form, you can also divide the numerator and denominator by the same number (except 0), to form an equivalent fraction.

Example : 12/16 has equivalent fractions 3/4 and 6/8 as well as 24/32 and 36/48
