#1/16 = 6.25/100 = 6.25%#

To write a fraction as a percentage you need to find an equivalent fraction which has a denominator or #100#

However, #16# is not a factor f #100#, but it is a factor of #10,000#

#(1xx625)/(16 xx625) = 625/10000#

Now make the denominator #100#

#(625 div 100)/( 10000div100) = 6.25/100#

This gives the percent as #6.25%#

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To find what you must multiply by : #10000 div 16 = 625#

Note that #625/625 = 1#, and multiplying by #1# does not change the value of the fraction. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
