Equivalent Fractions can be cut down when the upper and lower value have a same factor in them. If the upper and lower value has a same factor, then we can withdraw the factors out.
For example, in the fraction 69 69
, 3 is the common factor of both 6 and 9.
=
In this, we can simplify the fractions by canceling the 3 from both the upper and lower of the fraction. Canceling means dividing both the upper and lower by the same number.
= = is equivalent to =
Hope this helps! :D
