: For the record,
: 43/537840000 = 7.9949 * 10^-8, approximately.
:
7.9949 * 10^-8
0.79949 * 10^-7
0.079949 * 10^-6
0.0079949 * 10^-5
0.00079949 * 10^-4
0.000079949 * 10^-3
0.0000079949 * 10^-2
0.00000079949 * 10^-1
0.000000079949 * 10^-0
0.000000079949 * 10^0
0.000000079949 * 1
0.000000079949

0.000000079949 * 100 = 0.0000079949 % 

For the record:
