12 = 1 × 52 × 5 = 510

(Multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 2)

(Multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 3)

(Multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 4)

(Multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 5)

So, we can write 12 = 24 = 36 = 48 = 510
