You are falling by
32,


128, 128 - 32, 128 - 32\cdot2,\dots

In general your sequence is defined as,


a_n=128-32\cdot n where
0\leq n \lt\infty.

The question is at which
n does the value
a_n=0.

If you divide
128 with
32 you get the number of steps needed to stuff
128 with
32,
4.

If you plug in
n=4, you get
a_4=128-32\cdot4, since
32\cdot4=128 you get
a_4=0.

The zero turn of the arithmetic sequence is thus at
n=4.

Hope this helps :)
