Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Write out the given expression.

    The expression is:

    (4×6×10×14)(14+16+110+114)(4 \times 6 \times 10 \times 14) \left( \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{14} \right)
  2. Distribute the product (4×6×10×14)(4 \times 6 \times 10 \times 14) to each term inside the parenthesis.

    Let P=4×6×10×14P = 4 \times 6 \times 10 \times 14.
    The expression becomes:

    P×14+P×16+P×110+P×114P \times \frac{1}{4} + P \times \frac{1}{6} + P \times \frac{1}{10} + P \times \frac{1}{14}

    Substitute PP back into each term:

    (4×6×10×14)×14+(4×6×10×14)×16+(4×6×10×14)×110+(4×6×10×14)×114(4 \times 6 \times 10 \times 14) \times \frac{1}{4} + (4 \times 6 \times 10 \times 14) \times \frac{1}{6} + (4 \times 6 \times 10 \times 14) \times \frac{1}{10} + (4 \times 6 \times 10 \times 14) \times \frac{1}{14}
  3. Simplify each term by canceling out common factors.

    Term 1: 4×6×10×144=6×10×14\frac{4 \times 6 \times 10 \times 14}{4} = 6 \times 10 \times 14
    Term 2: 4×6×10×146=4×10×14\frac{4 \times 6 \times 10 \times 14}{6} = 4 \times 10 \times 14
    Term 3: 4×6×10×1410=4×6×14\frac{4 \times 6 \times 10 \times 14}{10} = 4 \times 6 \times 14
    Term 4: 4×6×10×1414=4×6×10\frac{4 \times 6 \times 10 \times 14}{14} = 4 \times 6 \times 10

  4. Calculate the value of each simplified term.

    Term 1: 6×10×14=60×14=8406 \times 10 \times 14 = 60 \times 14 = 840
    Term 2: 4×10×14=40×14=5604 \times 10 \times 14 = 40 \times 14 = 560
    Term 3: 4×6×14=24×14=3364 \times 6 \times 14 = 24 \times 14 = 336
    Term 4: 4×6×10=24×10=2404 \times 6 \times 10 = 24 \times 10 = 240

  5. Sum the values of all terms.

    840+560+336+240=1,976840 + 560 + 336 + 240 = 1,976

    The final answer is 1,976.
