## faktor – Typeset quotient structures with LaTeX

The package provides the means to typeset factor structures, as are used in many areas of algebraic notation.

The structure is similar to the ‘A/B’ that is provided by the nicefrac package (part of the units distribution), and by the xfrac package; the most obvious difference is that the numerator and denominator’s sizes do not change in the \faktor command.
