How does it work?

The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 6/6 of 79, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: $\frac{6}{6}=\frac{x}{79}$ (where x represents 6/6 of 79)

1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: $6\times 79=6x$
2. Which gives: $474=6x$
3. Divide both sides by 6 to isolate x: $\frac{474}{6}=\frac{6x}{6}$
4. Which gives the result: $\frac{474}{6}=x$ (or $\frac{79}{1}=x$)

Thus, 6/6 of 79 is equal to 79/1 (or 79 in its decimal form).
