Fill in the Blank

A logistics coordinator is simplifying a formula for shipping efficiency represented by the expression:

−3n−9n2+n−6−n+32−n\frac{-3n-9}{n^2+n-6} - \frac{n+3}{2-n}

To find a common denominator, the coordinator factors the first denominator into (n−2)(n+3)(n-2)(n+3). To transform the second denominator, (2−n)(2 - n), into its opposite form, (n−2)(n - 2), the coordinator must multiply both the numerator and the denominator of the second fraction by the numerical constant ____.
