    n 5 n 4 n 3 4 4 0 s 4 s 3 s 2 4 4 4 1 But the same reasoning again applies to N' as applied to N, so the next digit of N' is 4, so s 2 and n 3 are also 4, etc. There are 5 divisions; the first four must leave an odd number base 5 in the pile for the next division, but the last division must leave an even number base 5 so the morning division ...

    Now, ⁠ 93 / 43 ⁠ = 2 + ⁠ 7 / 43 ⁠; the remaining fractional part, ⁠ 7 / 43 ⁠, is the reciprocal of ⁠ 43 / 7 ⁠, and ⁠ 43 / 7 ⁠ is around 6.1429. Use 6 as an approximation for this to obtain 2 + ⁠ 1 / 6 ⁠ as an approximation for ⁠ 93 / 43 ⁠ and 4 + ⁠ 1 / 2 + ⁠ 1 / 6 ⁠ ⁠, about 4.4615, as the third approximation.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_engine

    A reaction engine is an engine or motor that produces thrust by expelling reaction mass (reaction propulsion), [1] in accordance with Newton's third law of motion.This law of motion is commonly paraphrased as: "For every action force there is an equal, but opposite, reaction force."

    6.0 – 7.5 maps to 6; 7.6 – 9.9 maps to 7; 10.0 – 50 maps to 8 > 50 maps to 9; In practice, spectral types for new stars would be assigned by referencing to the standard stars, since the intensity values are subjective and would be impossible to reproduce from spectra taken under different conditions.
