Did I choose the correct equation to calculate this?-CodePudding

I'm not sure if there is actually an error here, but I (out of curiosity) created a program that calculated how many people across ~241 generations had... let's say intimate relations before just one person in Generation Z was born, and then following that how many people had intimate relations before the whole population of Generation Z was born.

Prerequisites: There are 72.1 million people in Gen Z, and one Generation lasts 25 years. All relationships are monogamous. Each couple has one child.
