a) \(\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{40}-\frac{1}{88}-\frac{1}{154}-\frac{1}{238}-\frac{1}{340}\)
\(=\frac{1}{10}-\left(\frac{1}{5.8}+\frac{1}{8.11}+\frac{1}{11.14}+\frac{1}{14.17}+\frac{1}{17.20}\right)\)
\(=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{3}.\left(\frac{3}{5.8}+\frac{3}{8.11}+\frac{3}{11.14}+\frac{3}{14.17}+\frac{3}{17.20}\right)\)
\(=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{3}.\left(\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{11}+\frac{1}{11}-\frac{1}{14}+\frac{1}{14}-\frac{1}{17}+\frac{1}{17}-\frac{1}{20}\right)\)
\(=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{3}.\left(\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{20}\right)\)
\(=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{3}.\frac{3}{20}\)
\(=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{20}=\frac{2}{20}-\frac{1}{20}=\frac{1}{20}\)
