  • An edge centered is common to four-unit cells. 
  • The contribution from each edge atom is hence, 1/4. 
  • Think about the edge a ceiling near you. 
  • Assume that this is a multistorey apartment. 
  • The room you are in, the room beside you, and two rooms on the floor above you would share that same edge - that is where the number 4 comes from. 
  • So, if an atom is placed with equal parts in all the 4 rooms, the contribution from each room would be 1/4.
