Return a single integer only. The problem has been revised so that no final answer is an irrational number, a parameterized expression, a range, a proof, a drawing, a graph, a locus equation, or a region description.
In the coin-and-balls process, the probability for the first requested event is . If this probability is in lowest terms, find .
The problem states that the probability for the first requested event in the coin-and-balls process is $$\frac{5}{8}$$. It asks us to express this probability in lowest terms as $$\frac{p}{q}$$ and then compute .
We are given the probability directly as $$\frac{5}{8}$$. To confirm whether this fraction is in lowest terms, we check if the numerator and denominator are coprime (i.e., their greatest common divisor is 1).
- The prime factors of 5 are just 5.
- The prime factors of 8 are .
- Since there are no common prime factors between 5 and 8, .
Thus, $$\frac{5}{8}$$ is already in lowest terms. Therefore, and , so:
