Missing parentheses in formula

[edit]

The formula is missing a simple yet crucial parenthesis. What is listed on the page: Loan Constant = (interest/m)/(1-(1/(1+(i/m)^n)) What SHOULD be listed on the page: Loan Constant = (interest/m)/(1-(1/(1+(i/m))^n)) See the 5th character from the right side, the new parenthesis added. Without it, the equation doesn't work. There is no source, I just plugged it into excel and had to do more research before I figured out the error, and now it works perfectly. Here is another link that shows a variation on the formula, but with the correct parenthesis: [1] 73.181.134.183 (talk) 05:33, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
