Can any one help me solve this by hand using current division? I am getting the wrong values. My formula is Ij = (Rq/Rj)*I Rq=8400/53 and Rj=380 gives me some thing different then what the circuit shows.

Add the 380 to the 86.7 then 1/x this then add 1/x of 240 then 1/x this again then divided 157volt by this and you get 1amp

The 2 currents on the right are not 2 but 1 so simply add 340ma to 660ma. You get 1amp

Thank you, i neglected to find the voltage drop across the equivalent resistor and use that to calculate the current in the branch.
