First, you must use the form b d or b*d rather than bd when multiplying factors. expr = (a x + b) (c x + d) + b d x + x^3*a + c (x^2 + x^3); Collect[expr, x] b d + (b c + a d + b d) x + (c + a c) x^2 + (a + c) x^3 or if your output format ( Mathematica | Preferences | Evaluation | Format type of new output cells: ) is not StandardForm Collect[expr, x] // StandardForm b d + (b c + a d + b d) x + (c + a c) x^2 + (a + c) x^3 Not literally what you asked for, but doing that would be significantly more involved.
