Equivalent Fractions

We can find equivalent fractions by multiplying the numerator and denominator by a common factor.  This gives us multiples of the numerator and denominator.  We can continue to do this until we have the required number of equivalent fractions or until we reach the fraction we need.  The best idea is to stick with prime numbers or numbers that are easy to multiply by.  See the example below.
