Never seen this explanation before. Looks legit.

Like the rest of the funnynumbers they show up everywhere, for people noticed these fractions and sums, they were easy to remember and they stand out from the crowd.

But cool research indeed, did you figure this out yourself?
The priests and the Levites were divided into 24 courses within their assigned class. The length of each course was 7 days (1 Chronicles 9:25). The week of service began and ended on the Sabbath (2 Chronicles 23:8). In addition, all the priests served for 3 extra weeks during the year (Deuteronomy 16:16).

I am in awe.
I have seen this somewhere before but I can't put my proverbial finger on it.
