\(\dfrac{x^{24}+x^{20}+x^{16}+...+x^4+1}{x^{26}+x^{24}+x^{22}+...+x^2+1}\)
\(=\dfrac{x^{24}+x^{20}+x^{16}+...+x^4+1}{\left(x^{26}+x^{22}+x^{18}+...+x^2\right)+\left(x^{24}+x^{20}+x^{16}+...+1\right)}\)
\(=\dfrac{x^{24}+x^{20}+x^{16}+...+x^4+1}{x^2\left(x^{24}+x^{20}+x^{16}+...+1\right)+\left(x^{24}+x^{20}+x^{16}+...+1\right)}\)
\(=\dfrac{x^{24}+x^{20}+x^{16}+...+x^4+1}{\left(x^2+1\right)\left(x^{24}+x^{20}+x^{16}+...+1\right)}\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{x^2+1}\)
