Question 333214: 911x43 is what i'm suppose to answer .. but in a Russian Algorithm way . what are the halves,double and how exactly should i double the numbers .. 43 is the double and 911 is the halve Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Double the first column, halve the second, always rounding down. If the second column number is even, cross out the row.
Cross it out.
Cross it out.
Stop because you reached 1 in the 2nd column
Add up the numbers in the 1st column that are not crossed out.
Actually, it doesn't matter which number you put into column 1, except that the larger the number in column 2, the more steps it takes to get halved down to 1, and therefore the more terms to add in the final step. Use your smallest number in column 2 to do the least amount of work.
