formula pls?

if a physician prescribed 4gm of aspirin to be taken daily, how many 5 grain tab. should the patient take each day?
Answer:
1 gram = 15.4323584 grains.4 gm = 4 (15.4323584) grains.
Divide the results by 5.
wtf is a gm?.gram? no way a doctor says to take 4000mg of aspirin, niether would they say to take 4 mg
The (regular) 5 grain aspirin tablet is 325 milligrams.
This would represent 12 tablets per day.
This dose would normally be given as two tablets every four hours.
Or as on a prescription ASA gr. X Q4H.
