Considering that Election Methods on Yahoo Groups is not updated anymore, 
the following is probably a good place to search the archives.

Adam Tarr posted a Yahoo link for this, which explains PAV.  Here is the 
Election Methods site version:

There are other posts that have been made on this that includes d'Hondt
