You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you have:
%281%2Fm%29%2F%28m-8%2F8m%29
you have to first cancel the 8s, which leaves you with:
%281%2Fm%29%2F%28m-1%2Fm%29
Multiply this by m-%281%2Fm%29 so you don't have a fraction anymore, but:
%281%2Fm%29%28m-%281%2Fm%29%29
Distribute 1%2Fm:
%281%2Fm%29%28m%29-%281%2Fm%29%281%2Fm%29
Then you have the answer:
1-%281%2Fm%5E2%29
