How to Evaluate Density Factor at given Number of Sleepers per km?

Density Factor at given Number of Sleepers per km evaluator uses Density Factor = (2*Number of Sleepers per Km/Number of Rails per Km)-(Length of Single Rail) to evaluate the Density Factor, Density Factor at given Number of Sleepers per km formula is defined as the number of sleepers required under one rail length of railway track. It is expressed as (n + x) where n is the length of one rail in meter and x is constant whose value varies from 3 to 6 (length of one rail is 13 m for B.G. Track and is 12 m for meter gauge (M.G.) track. Density Factor is denoted by x symbol.
