Did the ELMR and RMP generally scale rational numbers n/p by LCM m/m to mn/mp before sekecting the best divisors of denominator mp that summed to numerator mn by red auxiliary numbers such that concise unit fraction series were written out?
I say yes, yes, yes, and much more.

Add in the Akhmim wooden tablet ... link will be provuded later...Google on blogspot . Scribal division was inverse to scribal multiplication in the midern abstract sense. Check it out.
Adding back missing scribal shorthand notes to obtain beginnings, middles, abd endings of Ahmes and other scribal longhand abstract and practical math statements have increasingly been published since 2006.
Abstract math appears in places that correct 1920s scholarly oversights that only transliterated scribal shorthand, adding back only obvious errors.
Barabara ...linguists have no clue concerning a child's brain and how-to teach it any one culture's math. Linguists accept encoded language as a given rather than one of many that can not talk to each other easi!y. Only with the decoding Aymara in 1600 to 1620 by Jesuit priests ...recognized around 1986 ...was trivalent languages given a status that replaced Esperanto as a must to accurately translate between any two bivalent Languages. Google translate used a trivalent intermediate translation ..as you should be aware anthropologist acknowledge as pertinent to this topic.

For a RG discussion on the 22/7 = 3 + 1/7 approximation for π, that some scholars said to have been introduced by the ancient Egyptians: https://www.researchgate.net/post/using_the_mathematical_constant_22_7_for_pi_p
Ahmes in 1650 BCE , RMP 38, corrected old kingdom pi = 256/82 estimates for round granary volumes by subtracting 22/7 and placing the difference in double entry bookkeeping ledgers that paid workers 20 gallons of equivalent grain products (bread, beer, poultry, and actual grsin, every 30 days.
