Actually, it would help you if the formulae were written a little better. I've broken up each formula on a separate line. You start with a pervious pick 3 draw, x, and do a few separate calculations. As an example, let's do 298 and 871.

Here are the formulae, x x /p+c x/p-c (x+c) /p (x-c) /p, reordered and correctly written:

     x
    (x / p) + c
    (x / p) - c
    (x + c) / p
    (x - c) / p

x is a previous day's draw.

p is equal to approximately 3.141592654

c is equal to 666

Just plug the number in:

Example 1

     298
    (298 / 3.141592654) + 666
    (298 / 3.141592654) - 666
    (298 + 666) / 3.141592654
    (298 - 666) / 3.141592654

these then become

    298
    760.8563461
    -571.1436539
    306.8507303
    -117.1380381

these are then rounded up or down to the nearest positive value

    298
    760 or 761
    571 or 572
    306 or 307
    117 or 118

Example 2

     871
    (871 / 3.141592654) + 666
    (871 / 3.141592654) - 666
    (871 + 666) / 3.141592654
    (871 - 666) / 3.141592654

these then become

    871
    943.2479109
    -388.7520891
    489.2422951
    65.25352667

these are then rounded to

    871
    943 or 944
    388 or 389
    489 or 490
    065 or 066

I hope this helps.
