Step 3.1

Apply the product rule to $\frac{1}{7}$ .

$s_{4} = \frac{1 - \frac{1^{4}}{7^{4}}}{\frac{6}{7}}$

Step 3.2

One to any power is one.

$s_{4} = \frac{1 - \frac{1}{7^{4}}}{\frac{6}{7}}$

Step 3.3

Raise $7$ to the power of $4$ .

$s_{4} = \frac{1 - \frac{1}{2401}}{\frac{6}{7}}$

Step 3.4

Write $1$ as a fraction with a common denominator.

$s_{4} = \frac{\frac{2401}{2401} - \frac{1}{2401}}{\frac{6}{7}}$

Step 3.5

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$s_{4} = \frac{\frac{2401 - 1}{2401}}{\frac{6}{7}}$

Step 3.6

Subtract $1$ from $2401$ .

$s_{4} = \frac{\frac{2400}{2401}}{\frac{6}{7}}$

Step 4

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

$s_{4} = \frac{2400}{2401} \cdot \frac{7}{6}$

Step 5

Cancel the common factor of $6$ .

Step 5.1

Factor $6$ out of $2400$ .

$s_{4} = \frac{6 (400)}{2401} \cdot \frac{7}{6}$

Step 5.2

Cancel the common factor.

$s_{4} = \frac{6 \cdot 400}{2401} \cdot \frac{7}{6}$

Step 5.3

Rewrite the expression.

$s_{4} = \frac{400}{2401} \cdot 7$
