expr = (1. + 2.*x + 2.*x^2 + 2.*x^3)/(1. + 2.*x + 2.*x^2);
Rationalize[expr]

(1 + 2*x + 2*x^2 + 2*x^3)/(1 + 2*x + 2*x^2)

or

expr /. a_Real -> Round[a]
(1 + 2*x + 2*x^2 + 2*x^3)/ (1 + 2*x + 2*x^2)

It's much easier, by the way, if you post expressions in InputForm. You can (temporarily) convert a cell to InputForm using Ctrl-Shift-I or menu command Cell>Convert, then copy and paste it into e-mail. Ctrl-Shift-N or Ctrl-Shift-T will convert the cell back to standard or traditional form.
