|---|---|---|---|
| × 2 | (2 × 2) / (32 × 2) | 4/64 | 2 × 64 = 32 × 4 |
| × 3 | (2 × 3) / (32 × 3) | 6/96 | 2 × 96 = 32 × 6 |
| × 4 | (2 × 4) / (32 × 4) | 8/128 | 2 × 128 = 32 × 8 |
| × 5 | (2 × 5) / (32 × 5) | 10/160 | 2 × 160 = 32 × 10 |
| × 6 | (2 × 6) / (32 × 6) | 12/192 | 2 × 192 = 32 × 12 |
| × 7 | (2 × 7) / (32 × 7) | 14/224 | 2 × 224 = 32 × 14 |
Because the numerator and denominator share a factor, this example is especially useful for practicing reduction before conversion.
