A King in ancient times agreed to reward the inventor of chess with one grain of wheat on the first of the 64 squares of a chess
statuscvo [17]
Let's start by visualising this concept.

Number of grains on square:
1   2   4   8   16 ...

We can see that it starts to form a geometric sequence, with the common ratio being 2.

For the first question, we simply want the fifteenth term, so we just use the nth term geometric form:
T_n = ar^{n - 1}
T_{15} = 2^{14} = 16384

Thus, there are 16, 384 grains on the fifteenth square.

The second question begs the same process, only this time, it's a summation. Using our sum to n terms of geometric sequence, we get:
S_n = \frac{a(r^{n} - 1)}{r - 1}
S_{15} = \frac{2^{15} - 1}{2 - 1}
S_{15} = 2^{15} - 1 = 32767

Thus, there are 32, 767 total grains on the first 15 squares, and you should be able to work the rest from here.
