I have tried to find an answer to this question but have come up with nothing.
So, it is my understanding that to find the duration of a futures contract (assuming no switch risk), all you need to do is find the duration of the CTD in the forward space (by using the delivery date as the settlement date, and by using the invoice price as the price of the CTD), and divide the duration of the CTD by its conversion factor. My questions is, what is the mathematical rationale for dividing the duration of the CTD by its conversion factor, when you are already adjusting the price of the CTD for the conversion factor?
