    2  difference of:
    3    (a) one, less
    4    (b) the product, computed to three decimal places without rounding, of

    6  of
    7    (A) the quotient, computed to the nearest whole number without  round-
    8  ing, of
    9    (I)  the  actual valuation of the school district, as defined pursuant
   10  to subdivision 1 of section 3602 of the education law, divided by
   11    (II) the equivalent pupils of the school district

   16    Such aid ratio shall not be less than zero.
   17    (2) The  equivalent  pupils  of  the  school  district  shall  be  the
   18  quotient, computed to the nearest whole number without rounding, of
   19    (a)  an  equivalent actual valuation equal to the amount that would be
   20  computed obtained by taking the assessed valuation of taxable real prop-
   21  erty within such district as it appears upon the assessment roll of  the

   23  prior to the calendar year in  which  the  base  year  commenced,  after

   26  the  assessment roll of such town completed during such preceding calen-
   27  dar year, divided by
   28    (b) the product, computed to the nearest whole number  without  round-
   29  ing, of
   30    (i)  the state average actual valuation per pupil computed pursuant to
   31  subdivision 3 of section 3602 of the education law, multiplied by
   32    (ii) the quotient, computed to three decimals without rounding, of
   33    (A) the positive difference of
   34    (I) one less
   35    (II) the building aid ratio that was used or that would have been used
   36  to compute an apportionment pursuant to subdivision 6 of section 3602 of

   40  actual  valuation  and  shall report it to the state comptroller and the
