1. We assume, that the number 317297938 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 317297938, so we can write it down as 100%=317297938.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.0E-9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.0E-9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=317297938

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%=317297938/6.0E-9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.0E-9 is what percent of 317297938

100=5.28829896667E+16*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.28829896667E+16) to get x
100/5.28829896667E+16=x
1.89096722085E-15=x
x=1.89096722085E-15

now we have:
