Here we will explain and illustrate how to calculate 5/16 of a billion. In other words, you will learn how to answer the question, "What is five sixteenths of a billion?"
If you want to calculate 5/16 of a billion (five sixteenths of a billion), then you want to divide one billion (1,000,000,000) into 16 equal pieces and calculate the sum of 5 of those pieces.
Therefore, 5/16 of a billion is the quotient of one billion divided by 16, multiplied by 5. Here is the math and the answer:
(1,000,000,000 ÷ 16) × 5 = 312,500,000
5/16 of a billion = 312,500,000
Note that 5/16 of a billion will result in the same answer regardless of what you are referring to. For example, you might calculate 5/16 of a billion dollars or 5/16 of a billion people.
