EIGRP Traffic Share Count

Hello Everyone,

I Cdjeam having difficulty calculating the EIGRP traffic share count. As far as my understanding regarding Traffic Share count is, you divide the largest metric with lowest to forward packets based on number. For example

A-X = Metric is 10
B-X = Metric is 20
C-X = Metric is 30
D-X = Metric is 40
E-X = Metric is 90

If I configure variance 4, it means all above metric will be used for load balancing except E-X (90), because it does not fall under 80 (Lowest Metric X 4). So when calculate, I still use E-X Metric for Traffic Share Count.

A-X = Metric is 10 = Traffic Share Count (90/10) = 9
B-X = Metric is 20 = Traffic Share Count (90/20) = 5
C-X = Metric is 30 = Traffic Share Count (90/30) = 3
D-X = Metric is 40 = Traffic Share Count (90/40) = 2

It means 9 packets will be sent via A-X, 5 packets via B-X, 3 packets via C-X, and 2 packets via D-X. Am I correct till here??

Now, when I have below output, how is Traffic Share Count is calculated

= Traffic Share Count (90/10)
