Together

FilledSmallSquare Together[expr] puts terms in a sum over a common denominator, and cancels factors in the result.

FilledSmallSquare Example: Together[1/x + 1/(1-x)]LongRightArrow.
FilledSmallSquare Together makes a sum of terms into a single rational function.
FilledSmallSquare The denominator of the result of Together is typically the lowest common multiple of the denominators of each of the terms in the sum.
FilledSmallSquare Together avoids expanding out denominators unless it is necessary.
FilledSmallSquare Together is effectively the inverse of Apart.
FilledSmallSquare Together[expr, Modulus->p] generates a result modulo p.
FilledSmallSquare See The Mathematica Book on the web: Section 1.4.5 and Section 3.3.3.
