How to collect a fraction in a certain equation?

3 views (last 30 days)
Suppose i have this equation :
>> syms a b c d e
>> f=(a/3)+(b/3)+(c/3)+(d/3)+(e/3)
f =
1/3*a+1/3*b+1/3*c+1/3*d+1/3*e
And i need some command to collect term. And i wish it will displays :
f =
(1/3)*(a+b+c+d+e)
Is it possible to do this? How?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Fahmy.
I try the matlab function factor, but it get the result as following.
syms a b c d e
f=(a/3)+(b/3)+(c/3)+(d/3)+(e/3);
F=factor(f)
F=[1/3,a+b+c+d+e]. maybe exist another method.
