Mathematically, if we have x splits then we get 2x times more “stuff” than when we started. With 1 split we have 21 or 2 times more. With 4 splits we have 24 = 16 times more. As a general formula: growth = 2x Said another way, doubling is 100% growth. We can rewrite our formula like this: growth = (1 + 100%)x
