According to its structure I'd say that this is SEAL (<span>Software-Optimized Encryption Algorithm). It's difficult to describe how it works, because this kind of ciphers is very tricky. This algorithm uses 160 bit key and it uses 3 tables (R, S, T) to encode and decode.
I'll attach the image where you can see a process of creating a pseudo-random function:

True I think because it helps right?
16/17 can't be simplified but if you want it as a decimal it's 0.9412 or 0.94
