Michell's canon in Egypt is defined by 36288 being (1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 x 8 x 9) / 10 = 36288
36288 / 1760 = 20.6181818r this is Michell's Egyptian cubit.
The first arrangement of n/n-1 to be used is 100/99 to move the cubit to a base 99 unit as the imperial is a base 99 system.
20.61818182 x 99 / 100 = 20.412 and now we are not dealing with an infinitely repeating unit.
20.412 / 12 = 1.701
now n/n-1 becomes 1701 / 1700 and Thom's base 17 system appears.
36288 / 100 x 99 / 1701 x 1700 = 35904 x 2.5 = 89760 Thom's Aubrey circumference.
