53 53 40 40 27 27....
1. 53 + 53 = 106, & divide by 2 = 53,
2.53 - 13 = 40,
3.40 + 40 = 80 & divided by 2 = 40,
4. 40 - 13 = 27,
5.27 + 27 = 54 & divided by 2 = 27,
6.27 - 13 = 14.
1. 53 + 53 = 106, & divide by 2 = 53,
2.53 - 13 = 40,
3.40 + 40 = 80 & divided by 2 = 40,
4. 40 - 13 = 27,
5.27 + 27 = 54 & divided by 2 = 27,

53×1,
= 53-13.
40×1,
= 40-13.
27×1.
= 27-13,
= 14.
= 53-13.
40×1,
= 40-13.
27×1.
= 27-13,
= 14.
