Yield changes the finite carrier-pair count. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Quarter yield makes two pairs

Accepted photons stay at 8. Yield one quarter gives pair count 2.

Half yield makes four pairs

Accepted photons stay at 8. Yield one half gives pair count 4.

Full yield makes eight pairs

Accepted photons stay at 8. Yield one gives pair count 8.
