Story line
"In his recent 'Hemoglobin and the Universe,' Asimov showed that you couldn't add up enough units in a billion Universes to equal the number of possible formations of a single type of common molecule. True enough -- but division is a far more powerful tool than addition or subtraction. And division on paper can do it!"
