So we can see that <span><math>\frac 13</math></span> was the right amount to shift by because it is the delta from the starting position <span><math>1</math></span> to <span><math>\frac 43</math></span>, the latter of which is the reciprocal of the target step size <span><math>\frac 34</math></span> and therefore the value that we need the starting position to equal in order to be sent ''back'' to <span><math>1</math></span> when we resize all steps from 1 to the target step size by multiplying everything by it.
