How do you find the standard quota?

• State Population/Total Population
• Standard Divisor/Lower Quota
• Population/Standard Divisor
• Total Population/Seat

What is the first step of the Hamilton´s Method?

• Give each state its lower quotes
• Calculate each states standard quota
• Give the surplus seats to the state with the largest fractional parts until there are no more surplus seats
• Each state apportioned its lower quotea
