#The specific mathematical formula is: 

#1. RE = 206.835 – (1.015 x ASL) – (84.6 x ASW) 
#2. RE = Readability Ease 
#3. ASL = Average Sentence Length (i.e., the number of words divided by the number of sentences) 
#4. ASW = Average number of syllables per word (i.e., the number of syllables divided by the number of words) 
#5. The output, i.e., RE is a number ranging from 0 to 100. The higher the number, the easier the text is to read. 

#* Scores between 90.0 and 100.0 are considered easily understandable by an average 5th grader.
#* Scores between 60.0 and 70.0 are considered easily understood by 8th and 9th graders.
#* Scores between 0.0 and 30.0 are considered easily understood by college graduates.
#* The score between 60 and 70 is largely considered acceptable. The following table is also helpful to assess the ease of readability in a document: 
#	90-100 : Very Easy 
#	80-89 : Easy 
#	70-79 : Fairly Easy 
#	60-69 : Standard 
#	50-59 : Fairly Difficult 
#	30-49 : Difficult 
#	0-29 : Very Confusing
