Repeated exact halvings show remaining and decayed counts. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

One half-life leaves forty

Starting count 80 after 1 exact half-life step leaves 40 and decays 40.

Two half-lives leave twenty

Starting count 80 after 2 exact half-life steps leaves 20 and decays 60.
