Here the formula of a2-b2 = (a+b)(a-b).
so (a+b)(a-b)/(a-b) here both (a-b) are canceled,
so (a+b) is reminder here a= 2.39 & b= 1.61,
then 2.39+1.61=4 .

See what we have to do is,

(a+b)x(a-b)/(a-b).

(2.39+1.61)x(2.39-1.61) divided by/(2.39-1.61).

Solving them by opening the brackets we get,
4x0.78/0.78.
Now by solving it we get a figure =3.12 divided by/0.78.
Finally, we get = 4 as our answer.

Here (A+B) (A-B) / (A-B).

Here (A-B) from the numerator and denominator are canceled then (A+B) is the remainder.
So (2. 39+1. 61) =4.
