question

Without using a calculator, determine positive integers mm and nn for which sin61+sin62+sin63++sin687+sin688+sin689=mn \sin ^{6} 1^{\circ}+\sin ^{6} 2^{\circ}+\sin ^{6} 3^{\circ}+\cdots+\sin ^{6} 87^{\circ}+\sin ^{6} 88^{\circ}+\sin ^{6} 89^{\circ}=\frac{m}{n} (The sum on the left side of the equation consists of 89 terms of the form sin6x\sin ^{6} x^{\circ}, where xx takes each positive integer value from 1 to 89.)
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Without using a calculator, determine positive integers m and n for which

sin⁶1^(∘)+sin⁶2^(∘)+sin⁶3^(∘)+⋯+sin⁶87^(∘)+sin⁶88^(∘)+sin⁶89^(∘)=(m)/(n)

(The sum on the left side of the equation consists of 89 terms of the form sin⁶x^(∘), where x takes each positive integer value from 1 to 89.)
Original LaTeX notation
Without using a calculator, determine positive integers $m$ and $n$ for which

$$
\sin ^{6} 1^{\circ}+\sin ^{6} 2^{\circ}+\sin ^{6} 3^{\circ}+\cdots+\sin ^{6} 87^{\circ}+\sin ^{6} 88^{\circ}+\sin ^{6} 89^{\circ}=\frac{m}{n}
$$

(The sum on the left side of the equation consists of 89 terms of the form $\sin ^{6} x^{\circ}$, where $x$ takes each positive integer value from 1 to 89.)
