[ 1/x² + 1/y² ] / [ 1/x + 1/y ]
Look at all the denominators; their common denominator is x²y².
Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by x²y²:
Numerator: [ 1/x² + 1/y² ] · x²y² = y² + x² = x² + y²
Denominator: [ 1/x + 1/y ] · x²y² = xy² + x²y = xy(x + y)
Answer: [ x² + y² ] / [ xy(x + y) ]
