? (a-b)/(c-d) %1 = 1/(c - d)*a - 1/(c - d)*b ? ((a-b)/(c-d)) %2 = 1/(c - d)*a - 1/(c - d)*b ? (b-a)/(d-c) %3 = -1/(-c + d)*a + 1/(-c + d)*b ? ((b-a)/(d-c)) %4 = -1/(-c + d)*a + 1/(-c + d)*b I wondered why these don't all "normalize" to the same internal (?) format. And if there is no special reason for that: if it is worth the effort to make it so. -- Ruud ? a/b-c/d %5 = 1/b*a - 1/d*c ? b/a-c/d %6 = (c*a - d*b)/(-d*a) ? b/a-d/c %7 = (-d*a + c*b)/(c*a)
