...divisor are both multiplied by the same quantity, the quotient remains the same, (page 44) ; therefore, if the NUMERATOR and DENOMINATOR of a fraction be...multiplied by the SAME NUMBER, the VALUE of the fraction will remain unaltered, since there is no difference in the quantities. On this principle we may multiply... | |
