Axiom does
1/(1+%i)
1
------
1 + %i
which is of type Fraction Complex Integer, that is a fraction
whose numerator and denominator are of type Complex(Integer).
You can ask Axiom to place the result in a different type:
1/(1+%i)::Complex Fraction Integer
1 1
- - - %i
2 2
and the type is Complex Fraction Integer, that is a Complex
number whose real and imaginary components are Fraction(Integer).
The "simple form" depends on what is canonical for the type.
