Step-by-step explanation:
Given a7 is divided by a4 of a gp is 343 then common ratio
- The nth term of a G.P is given by a n = a r^n – 1 where a and r are first term and common ratio.
- Now a7 will be a7 = a. r^7 – 1 = a.r^6
- Also a4 will be a4 = a. r^4 – 1 = a.r^3
- Dividing both the terms we get
- So a7 / a4 = a.r^6 / a.r^3
- = r^6 / r^3
- Now r^6 / r^3 = 343
- Or r^6 – 3 = 343
- Or r^3 = 343
- Or r = cube root of 343
- Or r = 7
Therefore the common ratio will be 7

Answer:
Given a7 is divided by a4 of a gp is 343 then common ratio
The nth term of a G.P is given by a n = a r^n – 1 where a and r are first term and common ratio.
Now a7 will be a7 = a. r^7 – 1 = a.r^6
Also a4 will be a4 = a. r^4 – 1 = a.r^3
Dividing both the terms we get
So a7 / a4 = a.r^6 / a.r^3
= r^6 / r^3
Now r^6 / r^3 = 343
Or r^6 – 3 = 343
Or r^3 = 343
Or r = cube root of 343
Or r = 7
Therefore the common ratio will be 7
