∙ 6y agoThey are a common factor and any common factor in the numerator and denominator of a ratio can be cancelled out.
If you mean multiplying numerator and denominator by different numbers, the result is then a different ratio. If you mean variously multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number on different occasions, the result is unchanged.
To divide the numerator and the denominator of a ratio by the same factor means to simplify or reduce the ratio. This is done by dividing both numbers in the ratio by their greatest common factor, which results in an equivalent ratio.
simplifying
You will get an equivalent fraction.
