1.67 rule

I was wondering why the required landing distance has to be multiplied by 1.67 for commercial flights. For sure, it is good to have a safety margin but why couldn't it be 1.25 instead of 1.67?? Where is the origin of this rule, on what performance grounds is it calculated???

Cheers,
Cecco
