‘A correction still more precise is being stated here. The multiplier is the square of half the even integer (next greater than the last odd-interger divisor) increased by unity. This multiplier multiplied by 4, then increased by unity, and then multiplied by half the even-integer (already defined), is the divisor. This correction may be applied after the division by the odd integers 3, 5 etc. (indicated in the previous method and the same method of calculation followed).’
