New releases of lm-sensors have example sensors.conf's with likely
dividers in, and you can try them and fiddle them until the output
looks right: e.g. one of my machines has an as99127f:

    compute in3 ((6.8/10)+1)*@ ,  @/((6.8/10)+1)
    compute in4 ((28/10)+1)*@  ,  @/((28/10)+1)
# AS99127F rev.1 (same as w83781d)
#   compute in5 -(240/60.4)*@ ,  -@/(240/60.4)
#   compute in6 -(90.9/60.4)*@ ,  -@/(90.9/60.4)
# AS99127F rev.2 (same as w83782d)
    compute in5 (5.14 * @) - 14.91 , (@ + 14.91) / 5.14
    compute in6 (3.14 * @) -  7.71 , (@ +  7.71) / 3.14

But this depends on the sensor chip, on the motherboard, and
on the way your system assembler has wired things up :(
