A spokesman for the DOJ responded with the following math:

1 kg of fentanyl * .1518 (current purity level) * 1000 (to convert to grams) / by .002 (amount needed for a deadly dose) = lethal dose of fentanyl

So, 3,400 Kg of fentanyl seized in Trump’s first 100 days

3400*.1518

*1000

/.002

=258,060,000 deadly doses
