Determine the letter that is the 118th entry in the following sequence. Explain how you determined your answer.

Y,R,R, Y,R,R, Y,R,R, Y,R,R, Y,R,R, ...

My explanation seems clummsy but it works. 1/3n with n being the 118 entry. Given that, 1/3n would have a remainder of .333.. which would be Y. If remainder were .666 that would be R. If no remainder, that would be R. 

There has to be a better way than mine to solve this. HELP.
