A particle has y=15,687. Calculate c-v in m/s. (I would have asked for 1- v/c, making the answer dimensionless, but the system doesn't seem to take numbers that small. Gamma is chosen to make the particle extremely close to the speed of light.) If your calculator gives problems, you might want to solve the appropriate equation for c-v or c(1- v/c) and use an approximation.

The theory of special relativity explains the connection between space and time to objects that move in a straight line at a constant speed. The objects move at the speed of light. When an object approaches light speed, its mass is endless and cannot move faster than light. The most crucial postulate of Einstein's special relativity is that the laws of nature do not change in each frame of reference.
