In[1]:=f[n]/9 // TeXForm
Out[1]//TeXForm=\frac{f(n)}{9}

but I need \frac{1}{9}f(n) instead.

f[n] Defer[1/9] // TeXForm
\frac {1} {9} f (n)

Slightly more genearally,

ClearAll[deferRationalsAndPowers]
deferRationalsAndPowers = ReplaceAll[r : (_Rational | Power[_, -1]) :> Defer[r]];


expr = h[n]/9 + w[a]/b 

enter image description here

deferRationalsAndPowers @ expr

enter image description here

TeXForm @ deferRationalsAndPowers @ expr
\frac{1}{b} w(a)+\frac{1}{9} h(n)
expr2 = 1/2 f[a]^6 + 3/4 f[b]^2 + 8/9 f[c]

enter image description here

deferRationalsAndPowers @ expr2

enter image description here

TeXForm @ deferRationalsAndPowers @ expr2
\frac{1}{2} f(a)^6+\frac{3}{4} f(b)^2+\frac{8}{9} f(c)

  • $\begingroup$ If the input is an expression, how can I add 'defer' to the coefficients. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 10, 2022 at 7:07
  • $\begingroup$ For example, the input is 1/2 f[a]^6 + 3/4 f[b]^2 + 8/9 f[c] , how to add 'defer' before each 'f[]' o(TωT)o $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 10, 2022 at 7:15
