This fits into the problem because it is greater than 1, but 1 can also be used and it is the lowest number possible. I was just wondering if someone else could do the problem as well and see what you get. It is entirely possible that the book or I have made a mistake, but I just wasn't sure. Thanks!! </SPAN>\n" );
