Calling Sequence

content (p_1, x_1, ..., x_n)

Description

Returns a list whose first element is the greatest common divisor of the coefficients of the terms of the polynomial p_1 in the variable x_n (this is the content) and whose second element is the polynomial p_1 divided by the content.

Examples:

(%i1) content (2*x*y + 4*x^2*y^2, y);
                                   2
