The expression as you show it is

(1+3^2+3^3+...+3^60)/(3^61-1)

I suspect you have omitted one term from the numerator, so that the expression is supposed to be

(1+3+3^2+3^3+...+3^60)/(3^61-1)

If that is indeed what the expression is supposed to be then the formula for the sum of a finite geometric series tells us that the numerator is equivalent to

and so the entire expression is equal to
