Pronunciation & Spelling
Only fractional rhymes with factional (/ˈfækʃənəl/). The other listed words are useful lookalikes: fictional and frictional change the stressed vowel, functional changes both the vowel and the following consonant cluster, and national and rational lose the /k/ sound before the /ʃ/, so none of them rhyme with factional.
