Answer

800,001/200,000 = 5

Work Step by Step

-Because 800,001 > 200,000, -the pigeonhole principle guarantees that -there are at least two Parisians with the same number of hairs on their heads. -The generalized pigeonhole principle guarantees that there are at least 800,001/200,000 = 5 Parisians with the same number of hairs on their heads.
