(b) If the allotments cannot be split amongst the heirs, but the number
of inheritors and the allotments are multiples of another number. Then
this other number (if there are many numbers that can fit into both
then the largest number) will be used to divide the number of heirs and
the result, called the Wifq, will be the multiplier, of both the sum and
all the allotments.
