4.4 Apportionment methods (3)

Transforming the equation above we obtain:

\[s_i = v_i \frac{S}{V} \text{ or equivalently } s_i = \frac{v_i}{\frac{V}{S}} = \frac{v_i}{d}\]

\(d = \frac{V}{S}\) is called a standard divisor.

Assume we have \(S = 10, V = 100, v_1 = 40\). Then, we get \[\frac{\text{?}}{10} = \frac{40}{100}\]

Of course, “?” equals 4.
