1. We assume, that the number 0.00168650793 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 0.00168650793, so we can write it down as 100%=0.00168650793.

5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.00168650793
2) x%=17
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%=0.00168650793/17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17 is what percent of 0.00168650793
