Equivalent Fraction Class 7 Maths

When fractions are reduced to their simplest forms, equivalent fractions have the same value in their numerators and denominators

.

Example to convert a fraction into its simplest form

To reduce a fraction to its most basic form, divide both the numerator and the denominator by a common number. Repeat the process until no single number can divide both the numerator and the denominator.

Consider the fraction 2/4 as an example. Both the numerator and denominator can be divided by two, as we can see. As a result, we divide 2 and 4 by 2 and substitute the quotients of each division for the numerator and denominator. Because 2 divided by 2 yields a quotient of 1, 2 is replaced with 1. Similarly, the number 4 is replaced with the number 2 since 4 divided by 2 yields a quotient of 2. As a result, the most basic version of 2/4 is 1/2.
