Free Dimensional analysis (factor-label method) web tool
(OP)
I often need to do conversions in embedded work, and while it's not especially difficult to do factor-label equations (aka dimensional analysis) by hand, it seemed like an automated tool could be convenient. So I wrote one and put it up on a free web page. Hopefully others will find it useful as well. I welcome any comments or suggestions.

For example, if you have something in joules, and you factor out kg, Mathcad automatically displays m^2/s^3 as the remainder.
Your program should already know what the remainder is and tell you, since it's able to tell when the equation is balanced.
