How to calculate TEG:
Deux méthodes peuvent indifféremment être utilisées pour déterminer le TEG selon le principe suivant : les écarts entre deux dates peuvent être mesurés soit en rapportant le nombre exact de jours de cette période à 365, soit en fraction entière d'année pour la partie bornée par des quantièmes mensuels identiques, à laquelle on ajoute ou soustrait le nombre de jours restant rapportés à 365.
I´m getting my head in a complete tangle over this and have been staring at the figures for far too long. This is taken from Décret n°2002-928 du 10 juin 2002, so please consult that for more context, since the equations are too hard to reproduce here.

scaled to 365 days
Hello,
I thought "rapporté à" meant "scaled to" in statistical context.

I hope this helps.

Comment: "Based on the WF link - I had originally shyed away from "divided by" but i think it is in fact the simplest option, given that the whole sentence is awful and overcomplicated in other areas."

normalising to/wrt 365 days
The idea here is (I think) to express the date as a fraction/ratio (rapport) of 365 days, so for example, 36.5 days would be 0.10. A more "mathematical" expression would be "wrt", ir with respect to.
Note from asker:
| Yes, i think you're right. I'd provisionally put "as a fraction of" but prefer the more mathematical expression |

as a proportion of
I essentially agree with the explanation part of Chris' answer, but "normalisation" is mathematically more technical (rescaling to mean zero etc.)
Here we are just looking at the proportion of a year represented by the relevant number of days, and then in the equation relating this back to monthly interest rate.
