That can obviously be rounded. Nobody will really try to purchase 27% of a server. A different issue is that the formula should include "1+Safety Buffer". Otherwise it needs to be run twice, once with the safety buffer and once without. Even so, I didn't take the formulae on this page to be accurate so much as representational.

I assumed the "Safety Buffer" is really more of a "Safety Factor", and is equivalent to 1 + what you or I would call a Safety Buffer.

Yep. It's really a non-issue. It's was pretty clear to me that the author knows how to use the formula.
