When the fraction is in simplest terms.
To find out if two fractions are equivalent, either reduce them both to their simplest forms (which will be the same number if they're equivalent) or convert them to decimals (which will be the same number if they're equivalent). To make an equivalent fraction of a given fraction, multiply the numerator and the denominator of the given fraction by the same counting number.
In what situtation can you use only multiplication to find equivalent fraction? Give an example
0.8375 = 8375/10000 is an equivalent fraction. No additional working is required. The given fraction can be simplified but the question only asked for an equivalent fraction not a fraction in its simplest form.
One way to get an equivalent fraction is to multiply the given fraction by 2/2, 3/3, 4/4,...fraction that is equivalent to 18/33 is 36/64.
You turn the decimal into a fraction. Then you can find the equivalent fraction.
Multiply the given fraction by 1.

You multiply or divide both numerator and denominator by the same number.
Using ordinary long division, divide the fraction's numerator by its denominator.
It is not possible. There is no fraction equivalent to 1/73 which has a denominator less than 50.In fact, if p is any prime greater than 50, then for any fraction q/p, there is no equivalent fraction with denominator less than 50.
Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the given fraction by any non-zero integer. You will have an equivalent fraction.
Given a fraction, a percentage is the numerator of an equivalent fraction in which the denominator is 100.
Given a rational fraction in the from p/q where p and q and co-prime integers and q > 0, an equivalent fraction is a fraction of the form (p*k)/(q*k) where k is any non-zero integer. Conversely, given a fraction in the form x/y which are not co-prime, you can divide both x and y by any common factor to give an equivalent fraction in simpler form. When the two numbers become co-prime, you have the simplest equivalent fraction.
0.8375 = 8375/10000 is an equivalent fraction. No additional working is required. The given fraction can be simplified but the question only asked for an equivalent fraction not a fraction in its simplest form.
