65/87
26/87
26/174
1/5
5/1

Now 4*= $$\frac{2}{2}+\frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{4}=1+2/3+1/2=13/6$$..

6*=4*$$+\frac{2}{5}+\frac{2}{6}=\frac{13}{6}+\frac{2}{5}+\frac{2}{6}=\frac{15}{6}+\frac{2}{5}=\frac{5}{2}+\frac{2}{5}=\frac{(25+4)}{10}=\frac{29}{10}$$

So $$\frac{4*}{6*}=(\frac{13}{6})/(\frac{29}{10})=\frac{13*10}{6*29}=\frac{65}{87}$$
