dimensionless

Lacking measurement units

Dimensionless describes a quantity that has no physical units—no meters, seconds, kilograms, or the like.

Ratios are often dimensionless: if you divide one length by another, the units cancel.

In physics and engineering, dimensionless numbers like the Reynolds number characterize systems without reference to specific measurement scales: a dimensionless constant, dimensionless quantities simplify the equations.
