Primary text

If the two scenarios (approval and rejection calculations) are consistent, the lesser of the two figures is multiplied by the other. For the person with a share in one scenario, that share is multiplied by the lesser figure from the other scenario. If one scenario is contained within the other, the greater figure suffices.
