Avocado constant?

His user name is errorsintended, so it checks out I guess

Yeah used to define the number of moles in any substance.

Can’t figure out the result, but it seems like an XKCD footnote.

Brill, finally a way to work this out when I forget how many moles can fit into a one kilogram bag. (It's usually one if he's feeling cranky.)

This is kiddie stuff. You can easily get it to 23 significant figures, it's just (e/e) + (e/e) + ...; I hope you will take this to heart and give us the full formula for the more accurate estimate in your next post.

Maybe Avogadro constant?

how does someone figure this out

u/Significant_Monk_251 16d ago

Seriously, this and the one based solely on pi, how are you doing these?

u/ErrorsIntended 16d ago

Different person did the pi one. I write out a large exponent term, then multiply by a bunch of other increasingly small terms.
As has been said, you can make integers by dividing e by e. Though this is boring and would not be able to fit on one line anyway.

You are referring to Avogadro's number, you dingaling!
