7 ( 6 1 7 ) 6 ( 7 1 6 ) = 7 × 41 7 6 × 41 6 = 1 \begin{aligned} \dfrac{7\left(6 - \dfrac{1}{7}\right)}{6\left(7 - \dfrac{1}{6}\right)} & = {\dfrac{\cancel{7}×\dfrac{\cancel{41}}{\cancel{7}}}{\cancel{6} × \dfrac{\cancel{41}}{\cancel{6}}}}\\ \\ & = \color{#3D99F6}{\boxed{1}} \end{aligned}

7 ( 6 1 7 ) 6 ( 7 1 6 ) \frac{7(6-\frac{1}{7})}{6(7-\frac{1}{6})}

First simplify by distributing into the brackets.

42 1 42 1 \frac{42-1}{42-1}

Realize the numerator is non zero and equal to the denominator.

1 \boxed{1}
