I would like to simplify a large symbolic summation. I know that terms which are multiplied with a common integer factor can ultimately be combined and simplified. As an example: from the sum 2 a b^2 c^3 + 13 x y a b + 2 d^-1 I would like to pick 2 a b^2 c^3 + 2 d^-1 to combine them; and similarly for other common integer factors. I suspect that patterns would help, but I did not manage to devise a correct one. Matthias
