$$\lceil 8.8 \lceil 2 \lceil 3 \lfloor 3 \rfloor \rceil \rceil \rceil$$

Evaluate

$$159$$

Solution Steps

The floor of a real number a is the largest integer number less than or equal to a. The floor of 3 is 3.

$$\lceil 8.8\lceil 2\lceil 3\times 3\rceil \rceil \rceil$$

Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.

$$\lceil 8.8\lceil 2\lceil 9\rceil \rceil \rceil$$

The ceiling of a real number a is the smallest integer number greater than or equal to a. The ceiling of 9 is 9.

$$\lceil 8.8\lceil 2\times 9\rceil \rceil$$

Multiply 2 and 9 to get 18.

$$\lceil 8.8\lceil 18\rceil \rceil$$

The ceiling of a real number a is the smallest integer number greater than or equal to a. The ceiling of 18 is 18.

$$\lceil 8.8\times 18\rceil$$

Multiply 8.8 and 18 to get 158.4.

$$\lceil 158.4\rceil$$

The ceiling of a real number a is the smallest integer number greater than or equal to a. The ceiling of 158.4 is 159.

$$159$$

Factor

$$3\times 53$$
