document.write( "Group-regroup you total mass of 528 centigrams in smaller groups each containing 65 centigrams of inert ingredient and \r\n" );
document.write( "   1 centigram of active ingredient. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "According to the condition, it is possible to do (!).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "How many groups will you have? Obviously,  = 8 groups, where 66 = 65+1 is the mass of each group.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus you have 8*65 = 520 centigrams of inert ingredient and  8*1 = 8 1 centigram of active ingredient. \r\n" );
