In each nation, the squared percentages calculated above would be applied to the national seat total to estimate the number of seats won by each party. Largest remainder would be used to assign fractional seats. Note that the ultimate result may vary slightly from these figures, for reasons outlined later. |

For example, the first "target" computation for a simple house of 650 could be: |
|||
* Party A votes 40%, seats 56.1%, n=364.9, rounded n=365 |
|||
* Party B votes 30%, seats 31.6%, n=205.3, rounded n=205 |
|||
* Party C votes 15%, seats 7.9%, n=51.3, rounded n=51 |
|||
* Party D votes 10%, seats 3.5%, n=22.8, rounded n=23 |
|||
* Party E votes 5%, seats 0.9%, n=5.7, rounded n=6 |
