Hello,
To convert from fractions to decimals, and from decimals to fractions use the [S<-->D] key. If you want your decimal results to have a fixed number of decimal places press [SHIFT][SETUP][6:Fix]. Screen shows Fix 0~9. Enter the number of decimal places exemple 3.
Dans ce cas 1/6 is displayes ase 0.167.
Hope it helps.
Every associate leaves 4/5(n-1) molecules of a pile of n molecule. This result in an awful formula for the complete process (because every time one molecule must be taken away to make the pile divisible by 5):
4/5(4/5(4/5(4/5(4/5(4/5(p-1)-1)-1)-1)-1)-1), where p is the number of molecule in the original pile, must be a whole number.
The trick is to make the number of molecule in the pile divisible by 5, by adding 4 molecules. This is possible because you can take away those 4 molecules again after taking away one fifth part of the pile: normally, 4/5(n-1) molecules are left of a pile of n molecules; now 4/5(n+4) =4/5(n-1) +4 molecules are left of a pile of n+4 molecules. And because of this, the number of molecule in the pile stays divisible by 5 during the whole process. So we are now looking for a p for which the following holds:
4/5×4/5×4/5×4/5×4/5×4/5× (p+4) = (46/56) × (p+4), where p is the number of molecule in the original pile, must be a whole number.
Therefore, the smallest (p+4) for which the above holds, is 56.
So there were p=5 power 6 - 4 = 15621 molecule in the original pile.
