Definition

Numerator of the quotient specifying the ratio of the alternative unit of measure to the base unit of measure.

Use

To convert a quantity, whose unit of measure is not the same as the base unit of measure, into the base unit of measure, the system requires a quotient:

Quantity (in alternative unit of measure) = quotient * quantity (in base unit of measure)

Procedure

Specify how many units of the alternative unit of measure (denominator) correspond to how many units of the base unit of measure (numerator).

Examples

The alternative unit of measure is kilogram (kg). The base unit of measure is piece (PC). 5 kilograms correspond to 3 pieces.

5 kg = 3 PC => 1 kg = 3/5 PC

The quotient is therefore 3/5 (the numerator being 3 and the denominator 5).

Note

You may enter only whole numbers in the numerator and denominator fields; that is, if 3.14 m² correspond to one piece, you must enter integer multiples (314 m² = 100 PC). The quotient is therefore 100/314 (the numerator being 100 and the denominator 314).
