=[math]S_n = B({138 \atop 56} Au_{118})-B({{136} \atop 55} Au_{117})[/math]

[math]\left [79(1.007825 u) + 118 (1.008665 u) - 196.97 u\right ] \frac{931.5 MeV}{u} -\left [79(1.007825 u) + 117 (1.008665 u) - 195.967 u\right ] \frac{931.5 MeV}{u}[/math]

[math]=\left [(1.008665 u) - 196.9665516 u+ 195.9665513 u\right ] \frac{931.5 MeV}{u} = 5.3 MeV[/math]
