1/23 as a percentage is 4.35%. This tiny slice of a whole is easy to picture: if you split something into 23 equal parts, each part is just a little over four percent of the total.
The fraction 1/23 is a proper fraction, meaning the numerator is smaller than the denominator. It can’t be reduced any further because 1 and 23 have no common factors other than 1. In decimal form it repeats forever (0.043478...), but when we round it to two decimal places we get the neat 4.35%.
Knowing this percentage is handy in everyday situations. For example, if a discount of 1/23 is applied to a price, the price drops by about 4.35%. It’s also useful in statistics when a small portion of a group, like 1 out of 23 respondents, needs to be expressed as a clear, understandable percentage.
