simple math problem

[spiral kiln]

im going to feel really stupid when someone tells me how it works... but isn't ln 2 / 5750 = 1.20... and not 0.00012

[silent tendon]

idk the exact result but ln(2) is obviously less than 1 cuz:
ln(2) = log(e, 2)
where e = 2.72... is Euler's number
even if the numerator is 1, the result of k will still be less than 1 cuz 1 < 5750

[spiral kiln]

my windows calc says 1.20. . . but google calc says the correct answer

[spiral kiln]

oh yeah thats true, i don't know why my calculator said a different answer

[silent tendon]

how did u write it?

cuz the calc will interpret it wrongly depending on how the input is written

[spiral kiln]

on thw windows calculator, press 2 then I press the ln button... then divide that result by 5750

just a moment i'll send pics

[silent tendon]

some calc displays it as scientific notation
like 1.20×(10^-4)

[spiral kiln]

oh yeah that may be it, because i am using the scientific calculator...

don't see why they should write it as that still but thats a whole other question

[silent tendon]

yea "e-4" means "× 10^-4"

[silent tendon]

cuz not enough space 😅

[spiral kiln]

ok

[spiral kiln]

i dont care how long it goes though, oh well

i guess since theres multiple zeros, that looks weird and they just switch to how it looks in scientific notation

welp thx for the help

[silent tendon]

maybe idk
