I would like *Mathematica* to cancel out a specific term as much as possible. One of my computations simplify to ((Pi*((l^2 + m^2 + 1) * ((l^2 + m^2 + 1) * Derivative[0, 1][w][l, m]^2 + Derivative[1, 0][w][l, m] * ((l^2 + m^2 + 1) * Derivative[1, 0][w][l, m] - 4*m) + 4*l*Derivative[0, 1][w][l, m]) + 4*(l^2 + m^2))) / (l^2 + m^2 + 1)) I would like it to eliminate the `l^2 + m^2 + 1` term as much as possible. `Distrubute` goes part of the way: (4 * (l^2 + m^2) * Pi / (1 + l^2 + m^2)^2 + ((Pi*(4*l*Derivative[0, 1][w][l, m] + (1 + l^2 + m^2) * Derivative[0, 1][w][l, m]^2 + Derivative[1, 0][w][l, m] *(-4*m + (1 + l^2 + m^2)*Derivative[1, 0][w][l, m]))) / (1 + l^2 + m^2))) Now I would like to cancel out the two occurences in the numerateor of the second term. I have tried various combinations of `Cancel`, `Apart`, `Expand`, `Factor` and `Simplify`, but none of those went in the right direction.
