(d)“pre-6 April 2017 reckonable service” means reckonable service that is service before 6 April 2017;
(e)“pre-6 April 2017 reckonable foreign service” means pre-6 April 2017 reckonable service that is foreign service;

(h)“the appropriate fraction” is given by—
where—
F is the period of pre-6 April 2017 reckonable foreign service, and
