The expression is equal to the fraction in which and are positive integers whose greatest common divisor is . What is
Solution 1
We write the given expression as a single fraction: by cross multiplication. Then by factoring the numerator, we get The question is asking for the numerator, so our answer is giving .
Solution 2
Denote . Hence,
We observe that and .
Hence, .
Therefore, .
Therefore, the answer is .
