Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard divisor is found by dividing the total population by the number of positions to be apportioned. Adding the populations: 25,312 + 19,734 + 33,407 + 29,591 + 13,288 + 22,751 + 31,992 = 176,075. Dividing by 200 judges gives 176,075 / 200 = 880.375, rounded to 880.38.
