What are the similarities and differences in the structure of artiodactyls and equids? What is common and how do the digestive organs differ in ruminants and non-ruminant artiodactyls?

The similarity in the structure of artiodactyls and equids is that both have hooves.

The difference is that in cloven-hoofed animals the number of fingers is even, and in equid-hoofed animals the number of fingers is odd. In cloven-hoofed animals, the stomach is multi-chambered, while in equid-hoofed animals it is simple.

Ruminants have a multichamber stomach, and non-ruminants have a single-chamber stomach. Non-ruminants do not re-chew their food.
