Problem
What is the value of ![\[\frac{\left(1+\frac13\right)\left(1+\frac15\right)\left(1+\frac17\right)}{\sqrt{\left(1-\frac{1}{3^2}\right)\left(1-\frac{1}{5^2}\right)\left(1-\frac{1}{7^2}\right)}}?\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/e/9/b/e9b98ba1a14efdf1cd888a6ae5f0d2de102e6d88.png)
Solution 1
We apply the difference of squares to the denominator, and then regroup factors:
~MRENTHUSIASM
Solution 2 (Brute Force)
Since these numbers are fairly small, we can use brute force as follows:
