Abstract: Factors $fracXY$ in a free group $F$ with $Y$ normal in $X$ are considered. Precise results on the free structure of $Y$ relative to the free structure of $X$ when $fracXY$ is abelian are obtained. Some extensions and applications are given, as for example to the construction of lower central factors in general groups. A collecting process on free generators, which gives basic commutator-type free generators for some subgroups, is also presented. The notion of {em relative basic commutators} is developed.
