"Division" of a number into more unequal number

Here is one approach. It doesn't give you nice round numbers, but it is fairly simple, and you can easily add additional sliders to the merge component. 

Basically the sliders control the relative proportion of the terms of the equation - the ratio of slider A to slider B will be the same as the ratio of term A to term B in the equation. Oh and the function in the f(x,y) component is Format("{0} = {1}",x,y). 

Below is a slightly more complex approach which guarantees integer terms but no longer exactly preserves the ratio of the sliders.

I used this C# component several times. You can pass a base value (e.g. 1000) and a value for the number of fractions you like to have.

I need this "formula"to know how many square meters I have for each different building.
