How does it work?

The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 6/6 of 73, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: $\frac{6}{6}=\frac{x}{73}$ (where x represents 6/6 of 73)

1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: $6\times 73=6x$
2. Which gives: $438=6x$
3. Divide both sides by 6 to isolate x: $\frac{438}{6}=\frac{6x}{6}$
4. Which gives the result: $\frac{438}{6}=x$ (or $\frac{73}{1}=x$)

Thus, 6/6 of 73 is equal to 73/1 (or 73 in its decimal form).
