Detailed Solution

n = \frac{{24}}{{24 \times 138.6}} = \frac{1}{{138.6}};Now\,\,\frac{N}{{{N_0}}} = {\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^n} = {\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{1/138.6}}
\Rightarrow N = 10,00000{\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{1/138.6}} = 995011

So number of disintegrations

= 1000000 - 995011 = 4989 \approx 5000
