You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi,
This sounds to me like something immensly hard to prove to be true, and as a general rule, if it sounds really hard to prove true, then chances are it's false.
To show something as false, all we need to do is find one counter-example. The first numbers that come into my head when looking for an example are 1, 2, and 3.
(1/2)/3 = 1/6
1/(2/3) = 3/2
