% DESCRIPTION: FACTOR factorises units in to numerator and denominator
%              units.
%
% CALL:        [num, den] = factor(units)
% 
% INPUTS:      'units'  - input unit object
% 
% OUTPUTS:     
%              'num'  - numerator unit object
%              'den'  - denominator unit object
% 
% CALL FOR PARAMETERS:
