I need help!!!

Here's the equation I know:
L*B/1024/1024=S

Now, I want to solve for B if I know S.

(Math is not my fort�)

TIA,
Maury

I am guessing you really mean:

(( (L*B) / 1024) / 1024) = S ???

If you mean this:

L * B / 1024 / 1024 = S

(cross-multiply) -->

S * 1024 * 1024 = L * B

-->

B = S * 1024 * 1024 / L

Is that right?

If you mean

(L*B/1024)/1024=S

it's B=S*(1024**2)/L

I think he means B/1024^1024/L
