4/10 is equivalent to 14/35

EXPLANATION

Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:
LCM of 10 and 35 is 70


For the 1st fraction, since 10 × 7 = 70
4/10 =4 x 7 = 28
10x7 = 70

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 35 × 2 = 70

14/35 = 14 x 2 =28
35x 2 =70

Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction

28/70 = 28/70
or 4/10 =14/35 they are both the same thing :)
