(7−3)7⋅7206−2=

1 answer

Let's solve the expression step by step:

  1. Start with the expression: \[ (7 - 3) \cdot 7 \cdot 7206^{-2} \]

  2. Calculate \( 7 - 3 \): \[ 7 - 3 = 4 \]

  3. Replace \( 7 - 3 \) in the expression: \[ 4 \cdot 7 \cdot 7206^{-2} \]

  4. Now calculate \( 4 \cdot 7 \): \[ 4 \cdot 7 = 28 \]

  5. The expression now is: \[ 28 \cdot 7206^{-2} \]

  6. Now compute \( 7206^{-2} \): \[ 7206^{-2} = \frac{1}{7206^2} \]

  7. Substitute this back into the expression: \[ 28 \cdot \frac{1}{7206^2} = \frac{28}{7206^2} \]

  8. We need to calculate \( 7206^2 \): \[ 7206^2 = 51,264,036 \]

  9. Thus, the expression simplifies to: \[ \frac{28}{51,264,036} \]

This is already in the form of an improper fraction. Therefore, the final answer is: \[ \frac{28}{51,264,036} \]
