qFcMsMM,Jcz\/.-M_BJ
Explanation:
qFcMsMM,Jcz\/.-M_BJ Implicit: z=input().
, two-element list
Jcz\/ J = split z on ','
_BJ Bifurcate reverse: [J,reversed(J)]
.-M map multiset difference of elements in both lists
this gives the multiset difference both ways
,Jcz\/.-M_BJ On input 1019/5095: [['1019','5095'], ['11','55']]
sMM convert all strings to numbers
cM map by float division
qF fold equality
