Divide 20,378 by 73,277 and multiply by one hundred.

If you’re inputting into a spreadsheet, leave out the multiplication and insert as a decimal fraction.

what you need to do is simple division. since your example is quite complicated, i’ll use another example that is similar:

what is 5 out of 7 in %?

5 divided 7 is less than 1 so the the answer will be 0.xxxx something

50 / 7 = 7 remainder 1

so the answer so far is 0.7xxxxx

bring down the 0 so 1 will become 10

10 /7 = 1 remainer 3

so the answer so far is 0.71xxxx

bring down the 0 so 3 will become 30

30 /7 = 4 remainder 2

so the answer so far is 0.714xxxxx

i don’t know how many decimal places you need, but 5 /7 is roughly 71.4%.

you repeat this process for your own example and that’s how you get the %.
