Find the value of $\frac{564 \times 564 \times 564 - 246 \times 246 \times 246}{564 \times 564 + 564 \times 246 + 246 \times 246}$.

Simplifying Algebraic Expression Using Identities

The problem asks for the value of the expression:

$ \frac{564 \times 564 \times 564 - 246 \times 246 \times 246}{564 \times 564 + 564 \times 246 + 246 \times 246} $

Let $a = 564$ and $b = 246$. The expression can be rewritten in terms of $a$ and $b$ as:

$ \frac{a^3 - b^3}{a^2 + ab + b^2} $

Applying the Difference of Cubes Formula

We use the algebraic identity for the difference of cubes:

$ a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2) $

Substitute this identity into the numerator of the expression:

$ \frac{(a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)}{a^2 + ab + b^2} $

Final Calculation

Cancel out the common term $(a^2 + ab + b^2)$ from the numerator and the denominator:

$ a - b $

Now, substitute the original values of $a$ and $b$ back:

$ 564 - 246 $

Perform the subtraction:

$ 564 - 246 = 318 $

Therefore, the value of the given expression is 318.
