General OpenTTD • Need help with calculating vehicle speeds

I need to calculate how many tiles will 100km/h train pass in 1 day.

Here is formula: https://wiki.openttd.org/en/Manual/Game ... cle-speeds

Problem with the formula on wiki is that it doesn't add up. It says this:

Now assume a vehicle going 1 km-ish/hour: (1 * 16 * 256) / (74 * 2) * 24 = 664.(216). The net result is that 100 km/hour is ~3.6 tiles/day (1.8 tiles/sec).

But how? (100 * 16 * 256) / (74 * 2) * 24 = 66421 / 664 = 100 tiles?

How exactly do I calculate that a 100km/h train will pass 3.6 tiles a day? that's the question, formula doesn't give this result of 3.6
