Could it be that 1r3 % i.1 =(1/3)%0 so the result of the summation is infinity + some numbers?
try
-/~ 1r3 %1 +i.5

How would you  explain to a 4th grade student why subtraction and division
of fraction is so difficult for J.  Here is a dialog I wrote to review all
the big ideas students should remember from third grade.  Tables show how
some verbs like + and times are commutative and * and % are not. If the verb
is commutative you need only "master" a little more than half of the table.
