Use Together. From: cdj [mailto:a_cjones at hotmail.com] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Hi, Like the subject says, but take for example: (2/(3x)) + (6/x) + (x/(x + 3)) Sending to the kernel simply gives: 20/3x + x/(3+x) What I wanted/hoped for was the common-denominator version: (3x^2 + 20x + 60)/(3x(x+3)) Is there any way to get Mathematica to give the one-denominator version of sums of fractions? thanks, cdj
