\(A=\dfrac{1}{1\times4}+\dfrac{1}{4\times7}+...+\dfrac{1}{37\times40}\\ =\dfrac{1}{3}\times\left(\dfrac{3}{1\times4}+\dfrac{3}{4\times7}+...+\dfrac{3}{37\times40}\right)\\ =\dfrac{1}{3}\times\left(1-\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{7}+...+\dfrac{1}{37}-\dfrac{1}{40}\right)\\ =\dfrac{1}{3}\times\left(1-\dfrac{1}{40}\right)\\ =\dfrac{1}{3}\times\dfrac{39}{40}\\ =\dfrac{13}{40}\)
