    example:

    PRI = 191

    To get the Facility
    Divide the PRI number by 8.
    191/8 = 23.875
    The whole number part is the facility.

    To get the Severity
    Take the whole number part 23 and multiply by 8 and the product subtract from 191:
    191 - (23 * 8 )= 7

    PRI = Facility 23 and Priority (7)

    Work backword to check our work:
    23*8 = 184 + 7 = 191
