Let x = 2010 x=2010 . Then the expression is ( ( x + 10 ) 2 10 x ) ( ( 10 x ) 2 10 0 2 ) ( ( x 10 ) 2 + 10 x ) x 6 1 0 6 \frac{\left((x+10)^2-10x\right)\left((10x)^2-100^2\right)\left((x-10)^2+10x\right)}{x^6-10^6}

Note that { ( x + 10 ) 2 10 x = x 2 + 10 x + 100 ( 10 x ) 2 10 0 2 = 100 ( x 2 100 ) ( x 10 ) 2 + 10 x = x 2 10 x + 100 x 6 1 0 6 = ( x 10 ) ( x 2 + 10 x + 1 0 2 ) ( x + 10 ) ( x 2 10 x + 1 0 2 ) \begin{cases}(x+10)^2-10x =x^2+10x+100 \\(10x)^2-100^2=100(x^2-100)\\(x-10)^2+10x =x^2-10x+100 \\x^6-10^6=(x-10)(x^2+10x+10^2)(x+10)(x^2-10x+10^2) \end{cases}

The expression becomes ( x 2 + 10 x + 100 ) ( 100 ( x 2 100 ) ) ( x 2 10 x + 100 ) ( x 10 ) ( x 2 + 10 x + 1 0 2 ) ( x + 10 ) ( x 2 10 x + 1 0 2 ) = 100 \frac{\left(x^2+10x+100\right)\left(100(x^2-100)\right)\left(x^2-10x+100\right)}{(x-10)(x^2+10x+10^2)(x+10)(x^2-10x+10^2)}=100

same way.but yours is better!
