GMATPrep factoring question

Expert replies

This one has me stumped. I know the answer should be 10 but I just can't seem to figure it out. Someone please show me how to solve this one!

1001^2 - 999^2 / 101^2 - 99^2 = ?

At first glance I thought I would factor 100 out of the top and 10 out of the bottom but that didn't work.

At first glance I thought I would factor 100 out of the top and 10 out of the bottom but that didn't work.
Use a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)

(1001+999)(1001-999) / (101+99)(101-99)
= 2000 * 2 / (200*2)
= 10

Thanks! I knew there was an easy way but I just couldn't see it. I was trying so hard to factor that I didn't even think of doing it that way.
