#4/9#

#(6^2-2^2)=32#

We then do the second set of parenthesis:

#(4^1-1^2+1)=4#

Repeat this step for the last pair of parenthesis:

#(8+10)=18#

Now solve:

#32/4/18#

Now simplify the fraction:

#32/4=8# therefore the original fraction is #8/18#.

Since these two numbers both are factorable by #2# we can do the following:

#8/2/18/2=4/9#

Therefore the simplified factored version is:

Answer: #4/9#
