| 5 | ÷ | r | = | 1 5 | ( | 1 | ÷ | r | + | 4 | ÷ | 120 | + | 2 | ÷ | 288000 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | r |
| 5 | = | 1 5 | ( | 1 | ÷ | r | + | 4 | ÷ | 120 | + | 2 | ÷ | 288000 | ) | r |
| 5 | = | 1 5 | × | 1 | ÷ | r | × | r | + | 1 5 | × | 4 | ÷ | 120 | × | r | + | 1 5 | × | 2 | ÷ | 288000 | × | r |
| 5 | = | 1 5 | ÷ | r | × | r | + | 1 150 | r | + | 1 720000 | r |
| 5 | = | 1 5 | ÷ | r | × | r | + | 4801 720000 | r |
| - | 4801 720000 | r | = | 1 5 | ÷ | 1 | × | 1 | − | 5 |
| - | 4801 720000 | r | = | 1 5 | − | 5 |
| - | 4801 720000 | r | = | - | 24 5 |
24 5 | = | 4801 720000 | r |
4801 720000 | r | = | 24 5 |
| r | = | 24 5 | ÷ | 4801 720000 |
| = | 24 5 | × | 720000 4801 |
| = | 24 | × | 144000 4801 |
| r | = | 3456000 4801 |
| r | = | 719.850031 |
