Well guys , I did the same solution as Sharky Kesa. That was the shortcut. I mostly see the same solutions in this application.
I did it this way, (2013 2014)-(2013 1392)/(2014-1392) = (4054182-2802096)/622= 1252086/622=2013
Lol. 3 years at this point

(ab - ac)/(b-c) = [a(b - c)]/(b - c) here we can cancel (b - c) so we get 'a' ie 2013....
just a fraction :) 2013 * 2014 = 4054182 and 2013 * 1392 = 2802096 and 2014 - 1392 = 622 4054182 - 2802096 = 1252086 / 622 = 2013.
x=2013(2014-1392)/(2014-1392) x=2013
Nice question...!!
2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 2 0 1 3 × 2 0 1 4 − 2 0 1 3 × 1 3 9 2 = 6 2 2 4 0 5 4 1 8 2 − 2 8 0 2 0 9 6 = 6 2 2 1 2 5 2 0 8 6 = 2 0 1 3 Q u i t e E a s i l y D o n e .

while it is equally correct, it is not really the best way to solve this..
This is how I did it, but I think this is the hard way! Sharky Kesa has a nice clean solution. :)
if you are not allow to use calculator...then your method will take more then 5 mint.haha

Nice work Sharky Kesa, very well explained. I went the brute force, number crunching route even though I suspected a more simple and efficient strategy existed. Cheers!
wow what a solution
that was hard ):
420 upvotes and counting!!! Finally we hit the magic number!
That makes total senese
That BEDMAS and the Laws of Exponents sure make life easier eh?
try (Ab-Ac)/(b-c)=A where b is not equal to c.
Very simple, you may use Factoring.
Why we hv taken 2013 as common?

Distributive property of multiplication.
Because it is multiplied to both the terms in numerator.
Distributive property over multiplication
Because 2013 is in both multiply operation, Its like for example if you had
2 5 - 2 * 7/ 5-7 = 2 ( 5-7)/5-7 ......2*(-2)/-2 = 2
It's very simple.
According to the question:
= 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 2 0 1 3 × 2 0 1 4 − 2 0 1 3 × 1 3 9 2
Taking 2 0 1 3 as common.
= 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 2 0 1 3 ( 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 )
Cancelling ( 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 ) , we get:
= 2 0 1 3
Thus, the answer is: 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 2 0 1 3 × 2 0 1 4 − 2 0 1 3 × 1 3 9 2 = 2 0 1 3
Thanks! I can't believe I didn't think of it before!!! Well, I was never a Maths girl, but I am trying (maturity allows us to open up to things we didn't use to before :)
You can't take 2013 as common, because there is 2013 and -2013
2013 * 2014 = 4054182
and
2013 * 1392 = 2802096
and
2014 - 1392 = 622
4054182 - 2802096 = 1252086 / 622 = 2013.
Your brain doesn't rearrange numbers really well, but it does variables really well. :-) So let's make them variables.
a + 1 − b a ( a + 1 ) − a b
notice a is in common, use distributive property.
a + 1 − b a ( a + 1 − b )
they cancel, and you're left with a
a = 2 0 1 3
I figured it out this way, I don't know if it's right though, but it came up with the right answer. I took out the first 3 digits of each number and made the equation
( 3 x 4 - 3 x 2 ) / ( 4 - 2 ) = 3 Then I added the first 3 digits back to the number ending in 3 and got 2013.
Why you add 201 only why not 139??
Let:
A = 2013
B = 2014
C = 1392
B

Using the Distributive Property of Multiplication

We can cancel out (A-B)
x=A

Factoring the expression: 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 2 0 1 3 × 2 0 1 4 − 2 0 1 3 × 1 3 9 2 = 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 2 0 1 3 ( 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 ) = 2 0 1 3 Therefore, the answer is 2013 .
2013 x 2014 -2013 x 1392/2014 - 1392
=2013(2014-1392) / (2014-1392)
=2013
a = 2013 b = 2014 c = 1392
(a b-a c)/b-c = (a(b-c))/b-c cancel b-c = a
Ans = a
no answer must be an integer
Using the distributive property, 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 ) 2 0 1 3 × 2 0 1 4 − 2 0 1 3 × 1 3 9 2 will become 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 2 0 1 3 × ( 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 ) . Let's say the unknown is y. After a bit of calculation, you can find out that y=2013.
2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 2 0 1 3 × 2 0 1 4 − 2 0 1 3 × 1 3 9 2 = 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 2 0 1 3 ( 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 ) = 2 0 1 3
A simple case of factorising:
= 2013 ( 2014 - 1392 ) / (2014 - 1392 ) = 2013 / 1 = 2013
note: a bit naughty to not include brackets in the question. I wouldn't be happy if such a question was faced by a student in a GCSE exam without clear instruction of whether to treat it with BIDMAS or number machine value by value process.
2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 2 0 1 3 ∗ 2 0 1 4 − 2 0 1 3 ∗ 1 3 9 2 = 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 2 0 1 3 ( 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 ) (by taking 2013 common in both equations) = 6 2 2 2 0 1 3 ∗ 6 2 2 (by cancelling numerator and denominator) = 2013
This looks confusing at first, but it is actually easier than you think.
2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 2 0 1 2 × 2 0 1 4 − 2 0 1 3 × 1 3 9 2
So, 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 2 0 1 2 ( 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 )
Cancel common terms and you'll end up with 2013.
Keep 2013 as "x".
So,
X * (x+1) - (x * (x-621) / (x+1) - (x-621)
(X^2 + x - X^2 + 621x) / (x + 1 - x + 621)
622x / 622
Then we are left with just "x", so the answer is X=2013.
2013(2014-1392)/2014-1392=2013
See the denominator.... And take 2013 common.... Divide... U will get the solution
To simplify:
2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 2 0 1 3 × 2 0 1 4 − 2 0 1 3 × 1 3 9 2
Taking common:
= 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 2 0 1 3 ( 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 )
Let ( 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 ) be x .
Replacing ( 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 ) with x :
x 2 0 1 3 x
Eliminating the x s:
Final answer: 2 0 1 3
Quite simple. Use variable substitution, as so!:
( 2 0 1 4 − 1 3 9 2 2 0 1 3 × 2 0 1 4 − 2 0 1 3 × 1 3 9 2 )
Now, just replace each number with a variable, as follows: a = 2 0 1 4 , b = 2 0 1 3 , c = 1 3 9 2
Now, solve through simple substitution & simplifying the fraction: b − c a b − a c
When in doubt, factor it out ;) ( b − c ) a ( b − c )
One more step of canceling out the (b-c)s, and we're done!: a = 2 0 1 4
Just Cross out the same numbers from the top and bottom for example 2014 and 1392 which leaves you with 2013
I did like this: Since some had same colour.. It can now become a b-a c/b-c Now divide it using division in algebraic method. And u will directly get (a) i.e 2013
(a b-a c)/(b-c) = (a*(b-c))/(b-c) = a
2013(2014-1493)/2014-1493= 2013
2013(2014-1392)/2014-1392 equal to 2013*22/22 equal to 2012
. 2,013 x 2,014= 4,054,182
.2,013 x 1,392 = 2,802,096
.4,054,182 - 2,802,096 = 1,252,086
.2,014 - 1,392 = 622
.1,252,086 / 622 = 2013 answer
Let a=2013 b=2014 c=1392 The equation becomes (ab-ac)/(b-c)=a (b-c)/(b-c)=a Substituting a, the answer is a=2013.
take 2013 common from numerator and cancel the remaning small bracket data by denumenator.....2013 will left...which is the answer of given question
It will be denominator,,, not denumenator @Sohail Khan
2013( 2014-1392)÷(2014-1392)=2013
Let 2013 be x. Let 2014 be y. Let 1392 be z.
(xy) - (xz)
y - z
= x (y - z) (Bring x factor out)
y - z
= x
Ans: x= 2013,, 😊
2013(2014-1392)/2014-1392= Note:get the common factor THen you can now cancelled out So, The answer is 2013
Purely easy solution take out 2013 as common part in numerator then we get 2013(2014-1392) and now cancel numerator part n denominator part 2013(2014-1392)/(2014-1392)=2013 Simple :)
Factor out the 2013, and then you have the answer. Simple as that.
(2013*(2014-1392))/(2014-1392)=2013
2013(2014-1392)/2014-1392
2013
2013(2014-1392)/2014-1392=2013
2013 is the right answer because all the same digit will cut and only 2013 will remain .
cancel out the same figures!
