Based on Jefferson's method and the value of d, the apportionment of the 57 seats will be:

  • A - 4 seats.
  • B - 5 seats.  
  • C - 10 seats.
  • D - 16 seats.
  • E - 22 seats.

How will the seats be allocated?

This is done by dividing the population of the state by the d value and then rounding this off:

State A:

= 138,352 / 32,920

= 4.2

= 4

State B:

= 181,282 / 32,920

= 5.5

= 5

State C:

= 337,026 / 32,920

= 10.23

= 10

State D:

= 549,634 / 32,920

= 16.6

= 16

State E:

= 729,736 / 32,920

= 22.1

= 22
