    A fraction x/y is a ratio between two numbers x and y.

    The ratio is preserved if both x and y are scaled up or down by the same number n.

    This means you can obtain any fraction equivalent to x/y by multiplying both x and y by n, i. e. (n*x) / (n*y).

    Then we have 1/4 = (2*1) / (2*4) = 2/8, for example.
