FRACTIONS
EQUAL FRACTIONS
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
 Develop the knowledge about equal fractions.
 Understand the concept of finding equal fractions.
 Understand the concept of cross multiplication in finding equal fraction.
 Develops interest in computation based on fractions.
INTRODUCTION:
We have seen that a single fraction has many forms. For, example,
Here, ⁄ , ⁄ are all different forms of ⁄ .
When we multiply the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same natural
number, we get different forms of it; that is, fractions equal to it.
For any fractions ⁄ and any natural number ,
This is the definition of equal fractions.
So how do we check whether two fractions are equal?
One way is to remove the common factors in the numerator and denominator and reduce
to the lowest terms.
For example, take ⁄ and ⁄
Thus we see that ⁄ and ⁄ are two forms of ⁄ . Thus they are equal fractions.
But how will you factorise large number and check whether it is an equal fraction?
It is not easy to factorise large numbers (even if we use computer). So we use another
method to check equality of the fractions. For example, take ⁄ and ⁄
They can be put in forms with the same denominator by multiplying the numerator and
denominator of first fraction with denominator of second fraction and then multiplying the
denominator and numerator of second fraction with denominator of first fraction like this:
The denominators of these new forms are the same. So to check their equality, we need
only see whether the numerators are also equal.
That is,
Since the numerators and denominators are equal, so are the fractions.
That is, in general
For natural numbers if ⁄ ⁄ , then
Conversely, if , then ⁄ ⁄
This method of converting equality of fractions to equality of products of natural numbers is
often called cross multiplication.
LESSON SUMMARY:
You have learned about what equal fraction is and how it can be obtained. For simple
fractions we can just use the factorization method. That is, factorising the numerator and
denominator and reduce to lowest terms to check whether two factors are equal. But for
larger fraction we cannot use factorization method instead we can use cross multiplication
method.
Example 1:
Check whether the fractions ⁄ and ⁄ are equal?
Solution:-
You are really trying to find whether they are equal.
 The first step is to multiply the numerator of the first fraction with the denominator
of the second. That is,
 The second step is to multiply the numerator of the second fraction with the
denominator of the first. That is,
 The third step is to check whether the products are equal.
Here the products are equal to 117572. Therefore the two fractions ⁄ and
⁄ are equal.
Example 2:
Using cross multiplication, check whether ⁄ and ⁄ are equal?
Solution:-
Since the products are same, so are the fractions.
That is ,
POINTS TO CONSIDER:
 Is factorization is the only method of checking equality of two fractions?
 If the fractions are larger, is it possible to check their equality?
REVIEW QUESTIONS:
Show all steps necessary for each answer. Be sure to include general principle if needed.
1. Check whether ⁄ and ⁄ are equal?
2. Using cross multiplication, check whether the fractions ⁄ and ⁄ are
equal?

  • 1. DIGITAL TEXT UNIT: FRACTION LESSON: EQUAL FRACTIONS SUBMITTED TO: SUBMITTED BY: Mrs.Preetha T.L Greeshma P.R Assistant Professor Optional: Mathematics In Mathematics Reg.no: 18017359001
  • 2. FRACTIONS EQUAL FRACTIONS LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  Develop the knowledge about equal fractions.  Understand the concept of finding equal fractions.  Understand the concept of cross multiplication in finding equal fraction.  Develops interest in computation based on fractions. INTRODUCTION: We have seen that a single fraction has many forms. For, example, Here, ⁄ , ⁄ are all different forms of ⁄ . When we multiply the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same natural number, we get different forms of it; that is, fractions equal to it. For any fractions ⁄ and any natural number , This is the definition of equal fractions. So how do we check whether two fractions are equal? One way is to remove the common factors in the numerator and denominator and reduce to the lowest terms. For example, take ⁄ and ⁄
  • 3. Thus we see that ⁄ and ⁄ are two forms of ⁄ . Thus they are equal fractions. But how will you factorise large number and check whether it is an equal fraction? It is not easy to factorise large numbers (even if we use computer). So we use another method to check equality of the fractions. For example, take ⁄ and ⁄ They can be put in forms with the same denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator of first fraction with denominator of second fraction and then multiplying the denominator and numerator of second fraction with denominator of first fraction like this: The denominators of these new forms are the same. So to check their equality, we need only see whether the numerators are also equal. That is, Since the numerators and denominators are equal, so are the fractions. That is, in general For natural numbers if ⁄ ⁄ , then Conversely, if , then ⁄ ⁄
  • 4. This method of converting equality of fractions to equality of products of natural numbers is often called cross multiplication. LESSON SUMMARY: You have learned about what equal fraction is and how it can be obtained. For simple fractions we can just use the factorization method. That is, factorising the numerator and denominator and reduce to lowest terms to check whether two factors are equal. But for larger fraction we cannot use factorization method instead we can use cross multiplication method. Example 1: Check whether the fractions ⁄ and ⁄ are equal? Solution:- You are really trying to find whether they are equal.  The first step is to multiply the numerator of the first fraction with the denominator of the second. That is,  The second step is to multiply the numerator of the second fraction with the denominator of the first. That is,  The third step is to check whether the products are equal. Here the products are equal to 117572. Therefore the two fractions ⁄ and ⁄ are equal. Example 2: Using cross multiplication, check whether ⁄ and ⁄ are equal? Solution:- Since the products are same, so are the fractions. That is ,
  • 5. POINTS TO CONSIDER:  Is factorization is the only method of checking equality of two fractions?  If the fractions are larger, is it possible to check their equality? REVIEW QUESTIONS: Show all steps necessary for each answer. Be sure to include general principle if needed. 1. Check whether ⁄ and ⁄ are equal? 2. Using cross multiplication, check whether the fractions ⁄ and ⁄ are equal? --------------------------------------------
