clear common denominator of a polynomial with rational coeffs

Syntax

ClearDenom(F: RINGELEM): RINGELEM

Description

This function clears the denominators of the coefficients in a polynomial over QQ. It simply multiplies by the least common multiple of the denominators.

Example

/**/ Use QQ[x,y]; /**/ F := (2/3)*x + (4/5)*y; /**/ ClearDenom(F); 10*x +12*y
