Cancel common coefficients in balanced expressions:

     u*#m ~~ u'*#m'  ==  #n*u ~~ #n'*u'

where ~~ is an appropriate balancing operation (e.g. =, <=, <, div, /)
and d = gcd(m,m') and n=m/d and n'=m'/d.

It works by (a) massaging both sides to bring gcd(m,m') to the front:

     u*#m ~~ u'*#m'  ==  #d*(#n*u) ~~ #d*(#n'*u')

(b) then using the rule "cancel" to reach #n*u ~~ #n'*u'.
