Simplifying a large expression (just for subtraction and addition) [closed]

Consider a large expression which contains terms like

a/x+b/x^2+c x + d x^4 +...-b/x^2 +h x -a/x +...


I want to find limit of the expression when x goes to zero. Because the expression is very huge, using Limit[exp,x->0] doesn't help and takes very very large time. Then, I decided to put x=0 and print the value of expression, but it gives 1/0 error. It happens because Mathematica doesn't cancel terms like a/x and -a/x.

What is an efficient way to force MM to cancel these terms? I wanted to use simplify and then put x=0, but it also takes to much time for MM to simplify the expression. Could any one help me?

• Do you know for sure that this expressions are polynomials in x (with negative powers of x allowed)? Then you could use CoefficientList on the summands and add up the CoefficientLists of the results... – Henrik Schumacher Jul 21 '18 at 14:32
• I am sure that negative powers of x exist. @HenrikSchumacher – Holger Mate Jul 21 '18 at 14:34
• That was not my question. – Henrik Schumacher Jul 21 '18 at 14:34
• There is no result. What I get is 1/0 error @HenrikSchumacher – Holger Mate Jul 21 '18 at 14:36
• If you can put a copy of your notebook with the exact correct expression that you are working on somewhere and leave a link so others can grab a copy and look at it and perhaps suggest some way to make progress then you might have a chance. Otherwise "it is huge and doesn't work and how do I fix it" gives very very little for anyone to work on. – Bill Jul 21 '18 at 15:06

Collect[yourExpression, x]

and see if that will be a sufficiently fast way to group together similar x and thus get those to cancel, but without taking the time need to Simplify or Limit each of which need to do a lot more work than just grouping together similar powers of x.
