Small aside — You may need to satisfy (99NEC) CHAPTER 9 Notes to Tables
(9) A multiconductor cable of two or more conductors shall be treated as a single conductor for calculating percentage conduit fill area. For cables that have elliptical cross sections, the cross-sectional area calculation shall be based on using the major diameter of the ellipse as a circle diameter.

I haven't learned yet how to Quote replies,so to Speedy Petey, yep, I'm from N.J....close enough, I reckon.. and to Bjarney, thanx,I'll refer to that table for sizing in the future...it stands to reason,that a cable in a conduit should be counted as 1 conductor and sized accordingly...

...PS,...thanx for the welcome Speedy!! ...I'm really gonna like it here!!!
