What does simplifying an expression mean?

Simplifying reduces an expression to its most compact form by combining like terms, canceling common factors, and reducing fractions.

Can this simplify rational expressions (fractions with variables)?

Yes. Enter any rational expression like (x^2 - 1)/(x + 1) and the solver will factor, cancel common terms, and show the simplified result step by step.

Does it handle complex nested fractions?

Yes. The simplifier works with nested fractions, polynomials with many terms, and expressions that need multiple simplification steps.
