Fractional terms (selection field "Fractional term"); nested fractional terms are accepted, too; every fractional term
has to be closed by using the last option of the selection field.
Powers, also nested (selection field "Power"); it is important to close the exponent in the selection field.
Representation of the result
The result will be displayed in two ways:
Expanded form (reduced)
Factorized form
Since the results can be very long, it is possible to shift the output area with pressed mouse button.
Limitations
Only powers with integer exponents are supported. This also applies if, as in the example 251/2, the result is rational.
If an exponent is greater than 100 or less than −100, no result is calculated because the computer could be blocked by the calculation for a long time.
The factorization can be incomplete. That is because the used algorithm (Von-Schubert or Kronecker algorithm) is not very efficient. The search for irreducible factors is stopped at degree 4 to avoid blocking the computer. If the browser still displays a warning message, it is recommended to stop the web page.
