We can also do it directly using (a+b) ^2 formula. And a-b^2 formula.
Taking 469*174 common. Then it gets divided by the denominator. After solving brackets. We get 4.

Formula is a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b).
Here a= 469+174,b = 469-174.
Substitute in formula:

= (469+174+469-174)(469+174-469+174)/469*174.
= 2*469*2*174/469*174,
= 4*469*174/469*174,
= 4.

It's simple yar.

(a+b)^2-(a-b)^2/ab its actual formula.

By solving (a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2 and (a-b)^2 = a^2-2ab+b^2.

By substituting in the above formula we can easily get answer ok its very simple yar.
