Error on seat percentage and gate utilization

For example, SDJ in Japan.

Airline: Flights: Seats: Gates: Utilisation:
JYONGRI 1 44.52% 1 100%
TigerShingAir 1 39.98% 1 90%
Chosun Rising Sun Airlines 1 15.50% 1 40%

These 3 airlines uses a DC3 with 1 frequency. They all have 1 gate there.
Why they have different percentage seats provided and gate utilization rate?

JYONGRI has 10 flights to SDJ. Thus, 100% gate utilization at SDJ. TigerShingAir has 9 flights (90%) and Chosun Rising has 3.5 flights (40%).

22.5 flights * 2 * 28 = 1260 seats total

For JYONGRI, (10 * 2 * 28 ) / 1260 = 44.44%
For TigerShing, (9 * 2 * 28 ) / 1260 = 40.00%
For Chosun, (3.5 * 2 * 28 ) / 1260 = 15.56%

My numbers are a little off, but it looks fine to me.

Oh...I have missed sth...sorry
But for me it's a bit hard to understand 1 flight = 10 frequencies...

If JYONGRI had split it out to 10 separate flights (all frequency = 1), it would've shown up as 10 / 100%.
