Which limitation affects the accuracy of medieval inheritance calculations employing Al-Khwarizmi's algebraic solution for property division?

💡 Explanation

Algebraic solutions often require approximating shares as simple fractions because the method of successive bisection does not always allow for complex fractional division without algebraic simplification. This approximation introduces error into the calculation, therefore accuracy decreases rather than a perfect division.
