Since the routine for calculating r1 contains a large section that is identical to a large section in the routine for calculating r2, you can simply create a subroutine out of the duplicated instructions. The subroutine is then executed in both the solutions for r1 and r2. This subroutine is inside the program file. Since it occurs at the end of the program file, the END for the program file also acts as the end of the subroutine.
