I would advise against doing your own math
Not only are you a Microsoft developer. Are you also a maths PhD? I thought I was using maths of a level I'm comfortable with. Mainly addition, abstraction, and multiplication if real numbers.
Perhaps I've committed a grave mistake. Please show me where my mistake is.
You are funny, but no, it's just unnecessary.
Using appropriate tools, such as the aforementioned process explorer, will help you avoid any guesswork.
