Professor Shackleton was about to answer Hitachi when Rhiannon began explaining. Professor Shackleton concurred, "She is exactly right. It is purely to prevent myself from making mistakes. By grouping each number in parentheses, I ensure that I don't add them to the other numbers inappropriately before I reduce them.

Now, I would like everyone to write their birthdate in their journal or on the parchment for the older students who don't have theirs and emulate my calculations with your own numbers. In doing so, you will have calculated your Life Path Number. Also, refer to Chapter Six in your textbook to determine what your Life Path Number means. I will come around to check on your work, so raise your hand if you need any help."
