Leverage factor of divider

We then follow the same logic to analyze the other nonideal cases, the common thread being the leverage factor of the divider. 

Looking at the blog entry that follows, this one is technically correct if rather peremptorily explained. Hysteretic controllers are actually quite simple. In Chapter 2 we discussed the leverage factor of a voltage divider. In this case the reference is 1.24V and Vom is 3.8V. So the leverage factor is 3.8/1.24 = 3.0645. So... 

The divider takes the voltage difference across its lower resistor (usually VREf) and leverages it by the factor total/ lower (where / Total is the sum of the two resistances), to give us the voltage across the entire divider (usually the output voltage).
