Given the following data, where did 339 come from?

Component Chemical formula Percentage Mass of component Mass of Hydrogen Mass of Carbon
Propene C3H6 7% 7 kg =642×7=1 kg=642×7=1 kg =3642×7=6 kg=3642×7=6 kg
Propane C3H8 52% 52 kg =844×52=9.45 kg=844×52=9.45 kg =3644×52=42.55 kg=3644×52=42.55 kg
Butene C4H8 11.2 11.2 =856×11.2=1.6 kg=856×11.2=1.6 kg =4856×11.2=9.6 kg=4856×11.2=9.6 kg
Butane C4H10 29.8 29.8 =1058×29.8=5.14 kg=1058×29.8=5.14 kg =4858×29.8=24.66 kg=4858×29.8=24.66 kg
TOTAL       =17.19 kg=17.19 kg =82.81 kg=82.81 kg

Gross-Calorific value, 

GCV=339×%C+1427(%H−%O8)+22×%S

GCV=339×82.81+1427(17.19−08)+22×0

GCV=52602.72 kJ/kg

GCV=52.60272 MJ/kg
