Multiplying a fraction by a whole number involves the same fundamental principle as multiplying two whole numbers: repeated addition. When you multiply a whole number by a fraction, you can think of the fraction as representing a part of the whole, and the whole number indicates how many times to take that part. Similarly, multiplying two whole numbers involves adding one number to itself repeatedly based on the value of the other number. Both processes ultimately rely on combining equal groups.
Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same integer.
The process of dividing fractions is similar to multiplying fractions in that both involve manipulating the fractions to simplify the operation. When multiplying, you multiply the numerators and the denominators directly. In division, you invert the second fraction (the divisor) and then multiply, which essentially turns the division into multiplication. Both processes emphasize working with numerators and denominators to arrive at a simplified result.
Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same integer.
To multiply two fractions, multiply the numerators together, then the denominators, then put the new numerator over the new denominator. Simplify if you can. To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and multiply as just described.
Take one of the fractions. Multiply its numerator and denominator by any integer greater than 1. The result will be a fraction with is equivalent to the fraction that you started with but no longer similar to the other fraction.
Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same integer.

To multiply two fractions, whether or not they are similar, the numerator of the answer is the product of the two numerators. The denominator of the answer is the product of the two denominators.So (a/b)*(c/d) = (a*c)/(b*d).
You can multiply or divide numerator and denominator by the same (non-zero) number. For example, 1/2 = 3/6, since, if you multiply top and bottom of 1/2 by 3 each, you get 3/6.
1.23 and similar numbers with figures AFTER the decimal point are Decimal Fractions. When expressed as an 'ordinary' fraction then 1.23 = 123/100
Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero number. You will have an equivalent fraction.Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero number. You will have an equivalent fraction.Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero number. You will have an equivalent fraction.Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero number. You will have an equivalent fraction.
Similar factions are fraction that have the same denominator ^^
If the fractions are similar, they will simplify to the same fraction.
Generally, the process involves multiplying the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the same number. This number is selected so that the original denominator becomes rational. In the process the numerator may become rational. If the original denominator is of the form √b then you multiply the numerator and denominator by √b/√b. If the original denominator is of the form a+√b then you multiply the numerator and denominator by (a-√b)/(a-√b). NOTE change of sign. There is a similar process, using complex conjugates, if the denominator is a complex number.
