For the two-point graph, and , so its superficial degree of divergence in three dimensions isIts additive mass-squared counterterm is therefore proportional to ; writing that counterterm as gives the dimensionless scaling , or when coupling factors are suppressed as in the question. For the six-point graph, and , so and its ultraviolet divergence is logarithmic:Suppressing powers of yields the two stated estimates.
