Stage retained and discarded masses (kg)
At each stage retain previous mass×fraction; discard the remainder.
Final retained mass (kg)
Product of original mass and sequential fractions.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Original sample, sequential split fractions. Returns Retained-discarded masses by stage. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Original sample mass (kg): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Sequential retained split fractions: minimum 0, maximum 1.
