Definition and scope
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.
These exact rationals use the usual real total order,not complex numbers or an arbitrary partial order.Original denominators must be positive;normalizing a negative input denominator does not waive that contract.

Before
scaled first value := mul(-1/2, -5/3)
After
scaled first value = 5/6
Conditions: none
Substitute the source data exactly in the stated operand order;division requires a nonzero denominator.
Reduced denominators are positive,so the cross-difference sign determines order.Retain equality and use original indices separately to break equal-value sorting ties.
Reduced denominators are positive,so the cross-difference sign determines order.Retain equality and use original indices separately to break equal-value sorting ties.
The direction label depends on the scale's sign.Positive preserves,negative reverses,and zero collapses both values to0 even if originally equal.Equality remains equality under negative scaling.
The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
