Simplify function in Sage

Question

In Sage,

simplify(x/(x^2 + x))

gives

x/(x^2 + x)

I would instead expect to get

1/(x + 1)

Is there a way to achieve that?

Try: $ratsimp(x/(x^2 + x))$, see: maxima-online.org/help/index/ratsimp — Amzoti, Commented Jan 18, 2015 at 14:57

You could do this:

sage: expr = x/(x^2 + x)
sage: expr.simplify_full()
1/(x + 1)
