Dumb question on wills

[TheOGCCL]

Maths really isn’t my strong suit…

Let’s say an estate is worth £100,000. The will states it should be split fractionally as follows:

4 people receive 1/4
2 people receive 1/18
2 people receive 1/30
4 people receive 1/75
1 person receives 1/150

How would each person’s share be calculated?

It is not clear that there is a mess at all. Pecuniary legacies are paid before the residual estate is distributed. From OP's second post, it sounds like all the smaller fractions are pecuniary legacies, so they are distributed first with the remainder then being split in four. But it is impossible to be sure without seeing the full will.
