calculating reach

I do not understand how you compute reach. For example one search since restarting got 3 tweets with followers 48, 148, and 30. You report the reach within 24 hours was 15k. I have having a hard time getting 15k together with the number of followers. So I assume that is not the right calculation, but it would be very useful to know what the calculation is.
