In mathematics, economics, and social choice theory, the highest averages method, also called the divisor method,[1] is an apportionment algorithm most well-known for its common use in proportional representation. Divisor algorithms seek to fairly divide a legislature between several groups, such as political parties or states. More generally, divisor methods are used for rounding a set of real numbers to a whole number of objects.[1][2]
Divisor methods aim to treat voters equally by ensuring every legislator represents an equal number of voters, as nearly as possible.[3]: 30
