Quite right.

Bringing the divisor up to the numerator changes it, from rol to 1/rol.

What you posted appears to be some confused mathematics to me. I was merely trying to help alleviate the confusion. It seems as if you are saying to change ROF to 1/ROF, which would be an indication of you thinking it is x/(y/z). Maybe this is simply a result of me being confused by the wording of your post. I don't know.

I will argue that x/(y*z) is not easier than x/y/z. Use a calculator. Fewer keystrokes with x/y/z.
