A generalized expression for filling congruent circles in a circle

The paper reports a generalized expression for filling the congruent circles (of radius r) in a circle (of radius R). First, a generalized expression for the biggest circle (r) inscribed in the nth part of the bigger circle (R) was developed. Further, it was extended as n such circles (r) touching each other and the bigger circle (R). To fill the bigger circle (R), the exercise was further repeated by considering the bigger circle radius as R-2r, R-4r and so on. In the process, a generalized expression was deduced for the total no. of such circles (r) which could be inscribed in this way of filling the bigger circle (R). The approach does not claim the closest packing always though it could be helpful for practical purposes.
