  defined  as follows:   a. "Combined data" shall mean any data or reports
  of factors specified in statute or regulation for  the  calculation  and

  school  district  for any school year ending prior to the first complete

  chapter.
b. "Partitioned data" shall mean: (i) for the new school district, the
  product of combined data multiplied by  the  quotient  of  the  resident
  public  school  district  enrollment during the current year of such new
  school district divided  by  the  sum  of  the  resident  public  school
  district  enrollment  during the current year of the new school district
  and of the remaining school district, and (ii) for the remaining  school
  district  the product of combined data multiplied by the quotient of the
  resident public school district enrollment during the  current  year  of
  such remaining school district divided by the sum of the resident public
  school  district  enrollment  during  the current year of the new school
  district and of the remaining school district.
c. "Adjusted actual valuation" shall mean the product  of  the  actual
  valuation of the pre-existing school district, as defined in paragraph c
  of  subdivision  one  of section thirty-six hundred two of this article,

d. "Actual valuation adjustment factor" shall mean (i) the quotient of
  the total taxable value of  the  assessment  roll  used  by  the  school

  partitioning  divided  by  the  applicable  equalization  rate  used  to
  apportion such tax levy, divided by  (ii)  the  sum  of  such  quotients
  computed  for  the  new  school  district  and  for the remaining school
  district.  Such factor shall be computed by the director of  the  office
  of  real  property  services  based  on  reports  to be submitted to the
