The half-life of 27Co60 is about 5.27 years. 15.8 years is 3 half-lives, so 0.53 or 0.125 of the original sample of 16 g will remain, that being 2 g.

I suppose that you think to the radioactive isotope Cs-17; After 4 years remain 9,122 g.
This time is 17 190 years.

In theory, they can remain unchanged for their entire existence. However, in practise, nature isn't so nice and evolution happens eventually.

25/100 = 1/4 of the original sample. The "half-life" must pass twice, yielding (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4 of the original sample. The half-life of Carbon-14 is listed as ( 5,730 ± 40 ) years. Twice that is ( 11,460 ± 80 ) years
