That number is the mouse sensitivity that you're running for CS: GO, and that is what you need to divide by 3.18 to get the accurate sensitivity for Riot's shooter.

Moreover, you can either also choose to convert it manually, or visit the conversion tool by 'forsettings' and get your sensitivity settings from there.
