<P> Based on the palaeography and orthography of the hieratic text , the text was most likely written down in the 13th dynasty and based on older material probably dating to the Twelfth dynasty of Egypt , roughly 1850 BC . Approximately 51⁄2 m ( 18 ft ) long and varying between 3.8 and 7.6 cm ( 1.5 and 3 in ) wide , its format was divided into 25 problems with solutions by the Soviet Orientalist Vasily Vasilievich Struve in 1930 . It is a well - known mathematical papyrus along with the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus . The Moscow Mathematical Papyrus is older than the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus , while the latter is the larger of the two . </P>
