Computational challenge?
Find the smallest positive real number x such that
sin(355x/113) - sin(πx) = 1
Your answer should be accurate at least to 5 places after the decimal point.
Note: I have an answer to this question, but I would like to have it corroborated.

x = 1.83614174340580×10^7
That's 18361417.4340580
That's seven decimal places.
Assuming of course you're working in radians.
Response to asker's comment:
Yes it is.

Maybe it's because I made a mistake with the decimal point - I've corrected that mistake now. If it still doesn't come out to one for you - check that your calculator is in radians.
Update:
If your calculator is set to degrees try 1.0520317248495×10^9°
