The representation is indeed not canonical but the object compare coherently
sage: R.<t>=QQ[] sage: (2*t+2)/(2*t) (2*t + 2)/(2*t) sage: (2*t+2)/(2*t) == (t+1)/t True The reason is that 2 is a unit in QQ. You can compare with sage: R.<t>=ZZ[] sage: (2*t+2)/(2*t) (t + 1)/t It would be nice to have better simplification rules for QQ (and more generally fraction fields).

Hi Reduction of rational functions seems not to work in specific cases. In the following output, =================== sage: R.<t>=QQ[] sage: (2*t+2)/(2*t) (2*t + 2)/(2*t) sage: (2*t+2)/(2) t + 1 sage: (2*t^2+2*t)/(2*t) t + 1 =================== 2 is not reduced in the first calculation.
