Here we will explain and illustrate how to calculate 1/3 of a billion. In other words, you will learn how to answer the question, "What is one third of a billion?"
If you want to calculate 1/3 of a billion (one third of a billion), then you want to divide one billion (1,000,000,000) into 3 equal pieces and calculate the sum of 1 of those pieces.
Therefore, 1/3 of a billion is the quotient of one billion divided by 3, multiplied by 1. Here is the math and the answer:
(1,000,000,000 ÷ 3) × 1 ≈ 333,333,333
1/3 of a billion ≈ 333,333,333
Note that 1/3 of a billion will result in the same answer regardless of what you are referring to. For example, you might calculate 1/3 of a billion dollars or 1/3 of a billion people.
We also created the image below to give you a better understanding of what one third of a billion looks like.
To create the image above depicting 1/3 of a billion, we first colored the entire pie blue, and then colored 1/3 of the pie green.
