This process may give a party more seats than they have candidates on the list, and that situation is dealt with (in a less precise manner) in article 88(3). If paragraph (1) instead had ended by: “…up to the figure that corresponds to the number of candidates on the list", a party could not be able to win more seats than they have candidates and article 88(3) could be deleted. In fact such language would even cover independent candidates with their results divided only once by the divisor 1. The same comment is valid for article 133(2) on local elections.
