Unfortunately your question doesn't seem to have a simple answer.
I've never used mupad but it appears that the functions you mention
are using a tree-like representation of the expression and allow you
to manipulate the tree.
Axiom produces answers whose appearance depends on the type. For example:
-> (x+1)/17
1 1
-- x + --
17 17
Type: Polynomial Fraction Integer
so the first input gets output as a polynomial of the form A*x+B
where A=1/17 and B=1/17.
-> %::Fraction(Polynomial(Integer))
x + 1
-----
17
Type: Fraction Polynomial Integer
(% is the last result. "::" does type conversion)
We then asked for a fraction whose numerator and denominator are
polynomials over the integers. So we wanted a fraction of the form:
(A*x+B)/(C*x+D) and got one with A=1, B=1, C=0, D=17
The output you get depends on the type you request.

The partialFraction function will create a partial fraction thus:
-> partialFraction(7,12)
3 1
1 - -- + -
2 3
2
Type: PartialFraction Integer
If you need more help let me know and I'll try to resolve the problem.
