The three fractions in the father's will do not add up to one.
1/2 + 1/3 + 1/9 = 17/18.
So, the first son got more than he should have (9 cows instead of 8.5).
The second son got more than he should have (6 cows instead of 5.67).
The third son got more than he should have (2 cows instead of 1.89).
There should have been 17/18 of a cow left over..
