38] Proof of the result expressed in this form.

The total of the larger portions of these products makes

$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$2/3$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$ hekat 4$1/undefined$ro,

or 319$1/undefined$ro.

The smaller fractions

$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$ taken as parts of 66, are equal to 6633211.

The total is 22, which is $1/undefined$ of 66, and this with 319 % makes 320 ro or 1 hekat, as it should.
