Technical Documentation of Algebraic Procedures

A technical writer is documenting a data processing algorithm that includes the expression 4u13u1+u13u\frac{4u-1}{3u-1} + \frac{u}{1-3u}. To explain the first step of the simplification process, the writer must identify the specific relationship between the two denominators. State the technical mathematical term for the relationship between (3u1)(3u-1) and (13u)(1-3u), and identify the constant numerical factor used to transform the second fraction so it shares a common denominator with the first.
