sentences:  The first problem divides 1 "hekat" by writing it as formula_1 + (5 "ro") (which equals 1) and dividing that expression by 3.In modern mathematical notation, one might say that the scribe showed that 3 times the "hekat" fraction (1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64) is equal to 63/64, and that 3 times the remainder part, (1 + 2/3) "ro", is equal to 5 "ro", which is equal to 1/64 of a "hekat", which sums to the initial hekat unity (64/64).The other problems on the tablets were computed by the same technique.
