FMCan anyone help me with Spread formula

Uunited2613y ago
Hi All, Just wondering how do you go about calculating the Spread formula, Whatever way I calculate does not seem to work Say for instance this formula from the Pilot Paper, Q Ulnad So formula is 3(3/4 x 18 x 1,000,000/0.00014).3333 When I just try to calculate what is in bracket it comes out as 9.642857143x 10 10 ?? whereas I think it should be coming out as 96428571428.571 Can someone please help? Thanks in advance

You do not multiply by .3333 (as you have written it). You take the amount in the brackets to the power .3333 (or take the third root, which is the same thing).
