You need not necessarily use the smallest number, though. If you want
to invert the input and for example map [127,10] to [20,40] it's
possible as well like this (x is input):
 
 x-127
 * (20-40)/(127-10)  (ratio of out- and input ranges)
 + 20

although 10 and not 127 would be the smaller number, or more
generally: 

(x-il) * (il-ih)/(ol-oh) + ol

and in "expr" form for Pd: 

 [ expr ($f1-$f2) * ($f4-$f5) / ($f2-$f3) + $f4 ]

using input, from_low, from_hi, to_low, to_high as inlets.

Basically this all is an application of the "rule of three" from
school.
