You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{8 - 4}{{8}^{2} - 2}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\frac{8 - 4}{{8}^{2} - 2} = \frac{2}{31} = 0.\overline{064516129032258}\]


\[\begin{aligned}\frac{8 - 4}{{8}^{2} - 2}& = \left(8 - 4\right) \cdot \frac{1}{8^{2} - 2}\\& = 4 \cdot \frac{1}{8^{2} - 2}\\& = 4 \cdot \frac{1}{64 - 2}\\& = \frac{4}{62}\\& = \frac{2}{31}\end{aligned}\]
