It's called d'Hondt method or Jefferson method. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%27Hondt_method https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%27Hondt_method
Thomas Jefferson introduced the method for proportional allocation of seats in the United States House of Representatives in 1791. Victor D'Hondt published it in 1882.
d'Hondt and Jefferson methods are equivalent. Only difference is the way result is calculated. d'Hondt method is used all over the world, but I Americans might feel more patriotic using Jefferson method.
