Is BhagavthBhagavath Gita part of Jaya, Bharatha or Mahabharatha?

The Mahābhārata itself (1.1.61) distinguishes a core portion of 24,000 verses: the Bhārata proper, as opposed to additional secondary material, while the Ashvalayana Grihyasutra (3.4.4) makes a similar distinction. At least three redactions of the text are commonly recognized: Jaya (Victory) with 8,800 verses attributed to Vyasa, the Bharata with 24,000 verses as recited by Vaisampayana, and finally the Mahābhārata as recited by Ugrashrava Sauti with over 100,000 verses Source

I understand from this that there are three concentric(?) portions of Mahabharatha.

  1. Jaya - 8800 verses
  2. Bharatha - 24,000 verses
  3. Mahabharatha - 100,000 verses verses

Total: 1,32,800 verses.

BhagavatBhagavath Gita is a part of Bhishma Parva. Now my question is in which section does BhagavatBhagavath Gita is present? Is it a part of Jaya, Bharata or Mahabharata?

Also Mahabharata has 2,00,000 verses, but this only adds to a total of 1,32,800 verses. To whom are the rest of the verses attributed? Or in other words what is the proper way to categorize Mahabharata so all the verses are included?
