Finding a fraction of a number is just multiplication in disguise. "1/3 of 24" means 24 ÷ 3 = 8. "3/4 of 20" means 20 ÷ 4 × 3 = 15. The trick: divide by the denominator first (find one share), then multiply by the numerator (take that many shares).
What does this generator do?
Picks a friendly fraction and a total that is a multiple of the denominator, so the answer is always a whole number.
How to use it
Divide the total by the denominator (gives one share). Multiply by the numerator (gives the fraction of the total).
