For Example 4/8 and 8/_: Multiply 8 and 8 (8*8=64) Divide 64 in 4 (64 divide by 4 = 16) 16 is your answer
Because if you think about it, a square number has two factors that are the same. For example, look at the number 16. Its factors are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. 1 and 16 go together, 2 and 8 go together, and then 4 gets paired up with another 4.
The answer to the division is a number (8) that can be added to itself to make 16. The answer to the square root is a number (-4 or +4) that can be multiplied by itself to make 16.

1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 We need to multiply those so all the denominators (bottom numbers) are the same (16). 1/2 * 8/8 + 1/4 * 4/4 + 1/8 * 2/2 + 1/16 8/16 + 4/16 + 2/16 + 1/16 Now we add the numerators and keep the same denominator. 12/16 + 3/16 = 15/16
The bottom number remains the same 1/4 + 3/4= 4/4 = 1 3/8 + 1/8 = 4/8 = 1/2 2/16 + 7/16 = 9/16
15 and 16. 15= 3*5. 3+5=8 16= 4*4. 4+4=8
Fractions are equivalent when you multiply (or divide) the top and bottom number by same amount. So 4/8 is same as 2/4 is same as 8/16 Therefore 4/9 is same as 8/16 is same as 40/90 ....

8
The factors of 16 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.
The next number is 4.... Starting at 22, every alternate number is half the previous one. The same applies to 16.

16 = 2, 4, 8 24 = 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 32 = 2, 4, 8, 16

The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16. I don't know which one is missing.
