Equivalent Fractions Calculator – Understand and Simplify Fractions Easily
Fractions are everywhere in daily life — recipes, measurements, budgets. An Equivalent Fractions Calculator quickly finds equal values of different-looking fractions and helps build math intuition.
What Are Equivalent Fractions?
Equivalent fractions represent the same value even though they look different. Example: 1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8 = 50/100.
Formula
(a × n) / (b × n) = a/b
Multiply both numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number to get an equivalent fraction.

- Enter the numerator and denominator of your fraction.
- Enter how many equivalent fractions to generate (1–20).
- Click Generate to see the full list plus the simplified form.
- Click Copy Result to copy the output.
Examples
2/3 × 1 = 2/3, × 2 = 4/6, × 3 = 6/9, × 4 = 8/12 …
Simplify 8/12 → GCD(8,12) = 4 → 2/3
