$$\frac{1}{2*4}+\frac{1}{6*4}+\frac{1}{6*8}+\frac{1}{10*8}+\cdots+\frac{1}{96*98}+\frac{1}{100*98}$$

$$\frac{1}{11*15}+\frac{1}{19*15}+\frac{1}{19*23}+\frac{1}{23*27}+\cdots+\frac{1}{1103·1107}+\frac{1}{1111·1107}$$

I have no idea how to solve these. If you could help, that would be great!!

Thanks, Heureka!

Note: 275/12221 can be simplified to 25/1111.
