Question 1095737
<br>For this problem to make sense, the expression you really want to simplify is
(8+16+24...+784)/(6+12+18+...+588)
and not
8+16+24...+784/6+12+18+...+588
which is what you showed.  Remember parentheses are important when you write an expression like this.<br>
Looking at successive terms in the numerator and denominator, every pair is in the ratio 4 to 3:
8 : 6
16 : 12
24 : 18
...
784 : 588<br>
So the whole fraction simplifies to just 4/3.
