Question: ReScaliing a projective vector

Question:ReScaliing a projective vector

I want to rescale a projective vector. Have been using gcd on the numerators and denominators. This works in simple situations. It doesn;t work well here, admitadely the points have been just made up for the question.  Square roots seem to make it mal-preform. I run into a lot of squate roots in symbolic situations. What would be a better way? I have been wondering if frontend would help?
