\frac{a^{2}-1}{\frac{a}{a}-\frac{1}{a}}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 1 times \frac{a}{a}.
\frac{a^{2}-1}{\frac{a-1}{a}}
Since \frac{a}{a} and \frac{1}{a} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{\left(a^{2}-1\right)a}{a-1}
Divide a^{2}-1 by \frac{a-1}{a} by multiplying a^{2}-1 by the reciprocal of \frac{a-1}{a}.
\frac{a\left(a-1\right)\left(a+1\right)}{a-1}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored.
a\left(a+1\right)
Cancel out a-1 in both numerator and denominator.
a^{2}+a
Expand the expression.
\frac{a^{2}-1}{\frac{a}{a}-\frac{1}{a}}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 1 times \frac{a}{a}.
\frac{a^{2}-1}{\frac{a-1}{a}}
Since \frac{a}{a} and \frac{1}{a} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{\left(a^{2}-1\right)a}{a-1}
Divide a^{2}-1 by \frac{a-1}{a} by multiplying a^{2}-1 by the reciprocal of \frac{a-1}{a}.
\frac{a\left(a-1\right)\left(a+1\right)}{a-1}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored.
a\left(a+1\right)
Cancel out a-1 in both numerator and denominator.
a^{2}+a
Expand the expression.
