Hello everyone,

I like to force following:

a/(a+b) --->  1/(1+b/a)

I know that collect is a powerful tool that is actually capable of doing such things. In a similar (old) thread, it was suggested to use a function in the last part like

collect(expression, varialble, (x->something)@factor)

but I don't understand what exactly this means. Any help?

another related question is, is the collect command available as right-click option?

 

many thanks.
