The latter is used in this article with the purpose of finding solutions to bankruptcy situations, which are simple accomplish this, we take into account a comparative analysis of four classic rules (proportional, equality, Talmud and equal loss) that enables finding a solution by means of applying different equality criteria. the election of one or another criterion shall depend, generally, on the specific type of problem.
