This document discusses the classification formula used for fingerprint analysis. It is composed of six divisions: primary, secondary, sub-secondary, final, major, and key classification. The primary classification involves four stages: pairing fingerprints, assigning numerical values to whorls, knowing the denominator and numerator fingerprints, and summing the numerical values plus a base fraction of 1/1 to determine the primary classification code.

Primary classification- this is the summation of all the numerical values assigned to whorls appearing in a fingerprint chart which are expressed as numerator and denominator plus the pre – established fraction of 1/ 1 Four stages to attain the Primary Classification 1. Pairing 1& 2- first pair 5& 6- third pair 9 & 10- fifth pair 3 & 4- second pair 7 & 8- fourth pair Pairing
Fingers no.1 and no. 2- 16
Fingers no. 3 and no. 4- 8 Fingers no. 7 and no. 8- 2 Fingers no. 5 and no. 6 -- 4 Fingers no. 9 and no. 10--- 1 2 . Assigning with numerical value to whorl only
Whorl- with numerical value
Arch / Loop- no numerical value
3. Knowing the Denominator and Numerator
1, 3, 5, 7, 9 – First part of the pairs (DENOMINATOR)
2, 4, 6, 8, 10-- second part of the pairs ( NUMERATOR)
32 Answer: FFC ____________________________
32
4. Summation of the numerical value of Whorls Assigned to the
fingers plus the pre- established fraction 1/ 1 Patterns Symbols Plain Arch A Tented Arch T Ulnar loop U Radial loop R Plain whorl W Central pocket loop C Double loop D Accidental whorl X The Primary Classification The values are assigned as follows; Fingers no.1 and no.2 = 16 Fingers no. 3 and 4= 8 Fingers no. 5 and no. 6= 4 Fingers no. 7 and 8 = 2 Fingers no. 9 and 10= 1 Whorls in the primary classification are also known as numerical patterns, while loops and arches are the non –numerical patterns The fingers in a set of print are numbered in its natural sequence, beginning with the thumb of the right hand as number 1 and with little finger as number 10 The fingers are grouped into two; The denominator and numerator as follows Numerator- Right index finger (2) Right ring finger (4) Left thumb (6) Left middle finger ( 8) Left little finger ( 10) Denominator- Right thumb (1) Right middle finger(3) Right little finger ( 5) Left index finger (7) Left ring finger- (9)
