Jefferson Method Example• Populations 56, 35, 26, 15, 6
– Total population p = 138
• House size h = 200– Standard divisor s = p/h = .69
pi pi/s ni = floor(pi/s)

For a population pi with house seats ni, the divisor needed to get to ni+1 seats is
di =pi
ni + 1
To get to ni+2 seats:
di =pi
ni + 2
And so on …
In some cases, some populations get 2 seats before other can get 1. Consider the following example with four states, where p = 1012, h=100 and s = 10.12
pi ni = floor(pi/s)

p1 bumped twice before p3, p4 bumped once
Again, need 3 seats, so the first three bumps get the seats

In fact…
Again, need 3 seats, so the first three bumps get the seats
p1 would be bumped many times before p3, p4
