<h3><em>The property of multiplication used to find equivalent fractions is called the multiplicative identity. It says that when a number is multiplied by 1, it remains same. When finding equivalent fractions, the numerator and denominator of a fraction is multiplied by the same number. In other words, the fraction is multiplied by 1, hence it remains the same.</em></h3>
