Good evening mathematicians! I come to you humble; in awe of anyone here who finds math relatively easy because you're dealing with someone who is next to dyscalculic.

I have a problem that I intuitively understand the answer to but cannot express it mathematically for the life of me.

Let's suppose we have 25 symbols that can be dispayed on a screen. We know their frequency of appearing on a screen is represented by their respective numbers in an array: { 146,42,64,57,162...}

Now let's introduce another array representing the same set of symbols but different frequency values: { 136,33,72,60,202...}

My intuition tells me that these values are essentially the same as the respective value in the other array if they are "proportionally" relative to the other values in their arrays.

So a set of values { 200, 50 } in one array will be the same as {100, 25 } since the frequency of appearance is based on the total.

How do I reduce these numbers to their elemental values closest to 1 and showing you their difference to one other? For example

7.4, 5.2, 2.3 in one array, and 7.5, 6.7, 2.5 in the other. This shows. you that the second value in the second array will be appearing more since its numerical frequency (6.7, relative to 5.2) value is higher
