Hello Donna;

  %/ 111 333
0.333333


...I don't think I see your point. The 111 is lost here as well. I'm sure there is a function (r: perhaps?) such that:

  111 r: 333

is the same(which, of course, is a meta-J notion) as

  111r333

I would prefer the shorter answer. The two item list:

  111 333

does preserve the original terms, but hides the division operation. Trade-off city...
