Formula used

assume 100 g → n = m/Aᵣ → divide by smallest → whole-number ratio

Every result substitutes your values into this relation step by step above.

Assumptions

  • Percentages are by mass and should total ≈100 % (inputs are normalized automatically).
  • Ratios must be close to small whole numbers after scaling — grossly imprecise data is rejected.
