Mathematica has the command FullSimplify, for example. One can use it for free on WolframAlpha; here it is in action simplifying $\frac{a(a+1)}{2a}$ into $\frac{a+1}{2}$.

Two more ideas (free software for the desktop):

  1. Maxima: a widespread free symbolic-math software; can even be configured to simplify wrt special trigonometric expressions (I use this if I have complicated expressions, derivatives and/or integrals)
  2. (examples like yours above can even be handled by Pari/GP; but is not specialized on symbolic expressions and can simplify polynomial/series expressions, and -but only to a very small extent- rational functions. Likely not what you want)
