Exact rational representations have nonzero denominators; a=-26/12, b=1/3. Negative input denominators are allowed. Give (the <, =, or > relation of a to b, a−b). Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.
G001 — Exact rational representations have nonzero denominators; a=-26/12, b=1/3. Negative input denominators are allowed. Give (the <, =, or > relation of a to b, a−b). Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
Before
raw a=[-26, 12];raw b=[1, 3]
After
a=-13/6;b=1/3
Conditions: none
Original denominators need only be nonzero;negative denominators are valid.Normalize to reduced positive-denominator fractions for exact arithmetic while retaining the original representations and sources.
Rule: nonzero_signed_rational_representation · Uses: G001
Before
rational comparison difference := sub(-13/6, 1/3)
After
rational comparison difference = -5/2
Conditions: none
Compare using the sign of the exact difference,not rounded decimals.
Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001
Before
a−b=-5/2
After
a < b
Conditions: none
A negative,zero or positive difference means less,equal or greater;normalization prevents an erroneous order reversal from a negative-denominator representation.
Rule: rational_order_from_difference · Uses: G001, S002
S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute rational comparison difference with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.(<, -5/2)
The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.

Original questions, answers, step expressions, numeric ASTs and historical records are retained. Source candidate labels remain historical and are not overwritten as formal proof.
