Among many other facilities the Presentations Application that I sell through my web site has the convenience command FactorOut: a + b + c // FactorOut[a] a (1 + b/a + c/a) David Park djmpark at comcast.net http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/index.html From: syzhaoyu at gmail.com [mailto:syzhaoyu at gmail.com] Let's say I have a polynomial: a+b+c Is there any way I can force mathematica to produce the following result: a*(1+b/a+c/a) I think such transformation of polynomials should be very common; however, I have been trying all day and still can not get mathematica to do so automatically.
