    What Are Equivalent Fractions?

    Equivalent fractions are two or more fractions that have different numerical representations (appearance) due to different numerators and denominators, but they still represent the same value. Equivalent fractions have the same size. They are represented at the same position on a number line. If represented using a visual model, equivalent fractions represent the equal portion of the whole.

    In other words, two or more fractions are said to be equivalent fractions if they are equal to the same fraction after we simplify them or reduce them to their lowest form. 

    Example: The fractions \(\frac{1}{2},\; \frac{2}{4},\; \frac{4}{8}\), etc. are equivalent fractions. They look different but you can notice that the simplest form of all these fractions is \(\frac{1}{2}\). 

    Using this trick, you can easily ace this equivalent fractions game online - Identify the Equivalent Models Game! Try it out and have fun practice!

    Equivalent Fractions on a Number Line

    When we plot fractions on a number line, equivalent fractions are plotted at the exact same place.

    Observe the number line shown below. 

    The fractions \(\frac{1}{3}\) and \(\frac{2}{6}\) are equivalent fractions. They are marked on the same position.

    Similarly, the equivalent fractions \(\frac{2}{3}\) and \(\frac{4}{6}\) are represented at the same point.
     

    Equivalent fractions on number line

     

    How To Find Equivalent Fractions

    Equivalent fractions can be obtained by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number.

    Let’s find the equivalent fractions of the fraction \(\frac{2}{3}\).

    Let’s multiply both the Numerator and Denominator by 2.

    \(\frac{2}{6}\; \times\; \frac{2}{2} = \frac{2 \;\times\; 2}{3 \; \times\;2} = \frac{4}{6}\)

    Let’s multiply both the Numerator and Denominator by 3.

    \(\frac{2}{3} \;\times\; \frac{3}{3} = \frac{2 \;\times\; 3}{3 \;\times\; 3} = \frac{6}{9}\)

    Thus, \(\frac{2}{3}\), \(\frac{4}{6}\), and \(\frac{6}{4}\) are equivalent fractions. You can also generate more fractions equivalent to these set of fractions using the similar approach.

    Similarly, observing the given visual representation, you can notice that

    \(\frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}\;\times\; \frac{2}{2} = \frac{1}{4} \;\times\; 2 = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4}\)

    \(\frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2} \;\times\; \frac{4}{4} = \frac{1}{8}\;\times\;4 = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8}\)
     

    Generating equivalent fractions

     

    Let’s find the equivalent fractions of the fraction \(\frac{15}{10}\).

    Let’s multiply both the Numerator and Denominator by 5.

    \(\frac{15}{10}\; \times \; \frac{5}{5} = \frac{15 \;\div\; 5}{10 \;\div\; 5} = \frac{3}{2}\)

    Thus, \(\frac{15}{10}\) and \(\frac{3}{2}\) are equivalent fractions.

    Comparing Fractions by Generating Equivalent Fractions

    It is very easy to compare fractions with the same denominator. We just have to compare their numerators. For example, \(\frac{3}{8}\) < \(\frac{5}{8}\) since 3 < 5.

    Visually, 5 parts out of 8 are clearly more than 3 parts out of 8.

     

    Comparing fractions with same denominators using bar model

     

    Now, when it comes to comparing fractions with different denominators, we can take help from equivalent fractions. 

    Example: Let’s compare \(\frac{4}{5}\)  and \(\frac{9}{10}\).

    We will find the equivalent fraction of \(\frac{4}{5}\) which has the denominator 10, so that we can easily compare it with \(\frac{9}{10}\).

    Multiply the numerator and the denominator of the first fraction by 2.

    \(\frac{4}{5} \;\times\; \frac{2}{2} = \frac{8}{10}\)

    As mentioned before, equivalent fractions may look different but they have the same value. 

    So, \(\frac{4}{5}\) and \(\frac{8}{10}\) have the same value.

    Now, comparing \(\frac{8}{10}\) and \(\frac{9}{10}\), we get

    \(\frac{8}{10}\) < \(\frac{9}{10}\) since 8 < 9

    Thus, \(\frac{4}{5}\) <  \(\frac{9}{10}\)

    Explore Compare Fractions Games for practicing this concept with effective exercises!

    How Identify Equivalent Fractions

     There are different ways to check if given fractions are equivalent or not.

    Example: \(\frac{6}{14}\) and \(\frac{15}{35}\)

    LCM(14, 35) = 70

    \(\frac{6}{14} = \frac{6}{14} \;\times\; \frac{5}{5} = \frac{30}{70}\)

    \(\frac{15}{35} = \frac{15}{35} \;\times\; \frac{2}{2} = \frac{30}{70}\)

    Numerators are equal, 30. So, \(\frac{6}{14}\) and \(\frac{15}{35}\) are equivalent.

    Example: \(\frac{1}{2}\) and \(\frac{5}{10}\) are equivalent since \(\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{10} = 0.5\).

    Example: \(\frac{1}{2}\) and \(\frac{5}{10}\) are equivalent since \(10 \;\times\; 1 = 5\;\times\;2 = 10\)

    Example: The fractions \(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{2}{4}\), \(\frac{4}{8}\) correspond to the half portion of the whole circle.
     

    Understanding Equivalent fractions using circle fractions

     

    Example: The simplest form of \(\frac{25}{100}\) is \(\frac{1}{4}\). The simplest form of \(\frac{5}{20}\) is \(\frac{1}{4}\). Thus, \(\frac{25}{100}\) and \(\frac{5}{20}\) are equivalent.
