3,876,000

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Write out the given expression.

    The expression is:

    (15×80×180×200)(115+180+1180+1200)(15 \times 80 \times 180 \times 200) \left( \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{80} + \frac{1}{180} + \frac{1}{200} \right)
  2. Distribute the product (15×80×180×200)(15 \times 80 \times 180 \times 200) to each term inside the parenthesis.

    Let P=15×80×180×200P = 15 \times 80 \times 180 \times 200.
    The expression becomes:

    P×115+P×180+P×1180+P×1200P \times \frac{1}{15} + P \times \frac{1}{80} + P \times \frac{1}{180} + P \times \frac{1}{200}

    Substitute PP back into each term:

    (15×80×180×200)×115+(15×80×180×200)×180+(15×80×180×200)×1180+(15×80×180×200)×1200(15 \times 80 \times 180 \times 200) \times \frac{1}{15} + (15 \times 80 \times 180 \times 200) \times \frac{1}{80} + (15 \times 80 \times 180 \times 200) \times \frac{1}{180} + (15 \times 80 \times 180 \times 200) \times \frac{1}{200}
  3. Simplify each term by canceling out common factors.

    Term 1: 15×80×180×20015=80×180×200\frac{15 \times 80 \times 180 \times 200}{15} = 80 \times 180 \times 200
    Term 2: 15×80×180×20080=15×180×200\frac{15 \times 80 \times 180 \times 200}{80} = 15 \times 180 \times 200
    Term 3: 15×80×180×200180=15×80×200\frac{15 \times 80 \times 180 \times 200}{180} = 15 \times 80 \times 200
    Term 4: 15×80×180×200200=15×80×180\frac{15 \times 80 \times 180 \times 200}{200} = 15 \times 80 \times 180

  4. Calculate the value of each simplified term.

    Term 1: 80×180×200=14400×200=2,880,00080 \times 180 \times 200 = 14400 \times 200 = 2,880,000
    Term 2: 15×180×200=2700×200=540,00015 \times 180 \times 200 = 2700 \times 200 = 540,000
    Term 3: 15×80×200=1200×200=240,00015 \times 80 \times 200 = 1200 \times 200 = 240,000
    Term 4: 15×80×180=1200×180=216,00015 \times 80 \times 180 = 1200 \times 180 = 216,000

  5. Sum the values of all terms.

    2,880,000+540,000+240,000+216,000=3,876,0002,880,000 + 540,000 + 240,000 + 216,000 = 3,876,000

    The final answer is 3,876,000.
