1.0E-261 is what percent of 1.0E+231 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 1.0E+231 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 1.0E+231, so we can write it down as 100%=1.0E+231.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.0E-261 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.0E-261.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.0E+231
2) x%=1.0E-261
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=1.0E+231/1.0E-261
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.0E-261 is what percent of 1.0E+231

100%/x%=1.0E+231/1.0E-261
(100/x)*x=(1.0E+231/1.0E-261)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=INF*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (INF) to get x
100/INF=x
0=x
x=0

now we have:
1.0E-261 is 0% of 1.0E+231
