A known training peak calibrates a linear detector scale. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

A known peak fixes the scale

Known ratio 4 appears at position 8, so the scale is 2 position units per ratio.

scale=8/4=2\text{scale}=8/4=2

A measured position maps back to a ratio

Position 12 maps to ratio 6. No peak fitting or database search is modeled.
