$\frac{1}{π} = \frac{π}{16}$

Step 1

Subtract $\frac{π}{16}$ from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{1}{π} - \frac{π}{16} = 0$

Step 2

To write $\frac{1}{π}$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{16}{16}$ .

$\frac{1}{π} \cdot \frac{16}{16} - \frac{π}{16} = 0$

Step 3

To write $- \frac{π}{16}$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{π}{π}$ .

$\frac{1}{π} \cdot \frac{16}{16} - \frac{π}{16} \cdot \frac{π}{π} = 0$

Step 6.2.1

Rewrite $16$ as $4^{2}$ .

$\frac{4^{2} - π^{2}}{16 π} = 0$

Step 6.2.2

Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula, $a^{2} - b^{2} = (a + b) (a - b)$ where $a = 4$ and $b = π$ .

$\frac{(4 + π) (4 - π)}{16 π} = 0$

Step 7

Set the numerator equal to zero.

$(4 + π) (4 - π) = 0$
