<p>. The decomposition of 2/n into unit fractions is never more than 4 terms long as in for example:<br/>
: </p>

<p>This table is followed by a much smaller, tiny table of fractional expressions for the numbers 1 through 9 divided by 10.  For instance the division of 7 by 10 is recorded as:<br/>
: 7 divided by 10 yields 2/3 + 1/30</p>

<p>After these two tables, the papyrus records 91 problems altogether, which have been designated by moderns as problems (or numbers) 1-87, including four other items which have been designated as problems 7B, 59B,</p><p>
