The indispensable infinity assumption used by Boltzmann and others in their derivation of entropy formulae is not involved in our derivation, therefore our derived formula is exact. The analogy of the N-body system brings us to obtain the entropic index of a combined system q(C) formed from subsystems having different entropic indexes q(A) and q(B) as 1/1-q(C) = 1/1-q(A) + 1/1-q(B) + D+2/2. It is possible to use the number N for the physical measure of deviation from Boltzmann entropy.
