[VIRTUALFREE]

Which properties am I using when I exchange divisors? For instance: 10/5/2=10/2/5

I have no idea. Who told you that these "fractions" were equal? :shock:

I suppose it is the Commutative Property of Multiplication.

We have: .\(\displaystyle 10 \times \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} \;=\;10 \times \frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{5}\)

Thank you very much. You helped me a lot!
