let 8(1+(1/2))(1+(1/2^2 ))(1+(1/2^4 ))...(1+(1/2^(32) ))+(1/2^(60) ) = z  multiply by (1−(1/2)) both sides gives  8(1−(1/2))(1+(1/2))(1+(1/2^2 ))(1+(1/2^4 ))...(1+(1/2^(32) ))+(1/2^(61) ) = (1/2)z  ⇒8(1−(1/2^2 ))(1+(1/2^2 ))(1+(1/2^4 ))...(1+(1/(32)))+(1/2^(61) )=(1/2)z  ⇒8(1−(1/2^4 ))(1+(1/2^4 ))...(1+(1/2^(32) ))+(1/2^(61) ) = (1/2)z  ⇒8(1−(1/2^(64) ))+(1/2^(61) ) = (1/2)z  ⇒8(((2^(64) −1)/2^(64) ))+(1/2^(61) ) = (1/2)z   ⇒((2^(64) −1)/2^(61) ) + (1/2^(61) ) = (1/2)z   ⇒ (2^(64) /2^(61) ) = (1/2)z , hence z = 2×2^3 = 16
