900 is an estimate. But why would you want to estimate such a simple calculation?

A magnitude 8 earthquake is 100 times stronger than a magnitude 6 quake.
155/6 = 25 with a remainder of 5
A magnitude 6 earthquake emits roughly 31 times more energy than a magnitude 5 earthquake. The magnitude 6 quake will also have a maximum seismic wave amplitude of ten times the magnitude 5 earthquake.
155 ÷ 25 = 6 with remainder 5 or 6.2
100 times
A magnitude 6 earthquake has 10 ten times the energy of a magnitude 5 earthquake.
The Richter scale is logarithmic, so 5-magnitude is 10 times as strong as 4-magnitude, and 6-magnitude is 100 times as strong.
6% of 155= 6% * 155= 0.06 * 155= 9.3
It's based on a logarithmic scale. A magnitude 7 releases 32 times more energy than a magnitude 6. Each 1.0 increase in magnitude is 32 times the energy release. An increase in 2.0 on the scale is 1000.
