There isn't a 'simple' formula, but rather a series of calculations based on various factors, several of which can be adjusted by the DBA.
This information is rather spread around--Oracle manuals are a distributed database :-), but there is a good discussion of this in 'Oracle Performance Tuning' by Peter Corrigan and Mark Gurry, published by O'Reilly & Associates, ISBN 1-56592-048-1. $34.95 in the USA.
