EIGRP metric weight K1=0, K2=0, K3=1, K4=0, K5=0 (only use delay)

Rack1R1#sh ip eigrp top 150.1.6.0 255.255.255.0
IP-EIGRP (AS 1): Topology entry for 150.1.6.0/24
  State is Passive, Query origin flag is 1, 1 Successor(s), FD is 153600
  Routing Descriptor Blocks:
  155.1.146.6 (Ethernet0/0), from 155.1.146.6, Send flag is 0x0
      Composite metric is (153600/128000), Route is Internal
      Vector metric:
        Minimum bandwidth is 10000 Kbit
        Total delay is 6000 microseconds
        Reliability is 255/255
        Load is 1/255
        Minimum MTU is 1500
        Hop count is 1
Rack1R1#

Total delay = 6000 and metric = 153600
153600 / 6000 = 25.6

So... total delay * 25.6 = metric? Where does 25.6 come from? It isnt
noted in the metric computation.
