I also have a FABULOUS formula to calculate inverse numbers, will expose it later.

Good idea...too much too fast could be a problem! :lol:

1/49=0.02040816326....

1/97=0.010309278...

etc ...

Ain't it beautiful :-?

I've looked at that three times already (once for each posting) and I've only just seen it. Does it really go on like that forever?

Unfortunately not, the retains (?, retenues in french) have to be taken into account when multiplication exceeds 100. For example:

1/49=

0.

0204081632642856122448...

00000000000102051020... (1 of 128, 2 of 256 etc...)

=

0.

I went back after reading your post and saw what was going on; my first reaction was the traditional "WTF?"... :lol:
