You were clear. If the divisor is greater than the dividend, the quotient must be less than 1. There is an inverse relationship between division and multiplication (if A / B = C, then B * C = A). You can test by reversing the formula - try 5.613 * 296410404. It won't result in 16,692.
There may have been an exponent that you overlooked in your calculator
display. You also may have transposed your hundredths and thousandths.
It's not algebra. It's 6th grade math.

Apparently, I was not clear.
Please look at the numbers below
When I divide the FBI’s numbers of 16,692 murders / 296,410,404 the
population in 2005 I get 5.613.
Please TRY IT!
16692 / 296410404 = 5.613
It’s been a while since I did my Algebra, but I think that is correct.
Now when I look at how to get a percentage according to this site
http://www.blurtit.com/q845591.html
The equation can be put up as follows:
(Given amount/ Total amount) x100
For example if John scores 60 out of 75 in mathematics we can find the
percentage of his marks by dividing 60 by 75 which comes to be 0.8 and then
multiplying it by 100 which gives us the percentage of his marks in math
which is 80%.
(60/75) x 100 = 80%
Hence
5.6%
According to the FBI
http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/data/table_01.html
In 2005 there were 16,692 murders in a population of 296,410,404 people in
the united states.
That's 5.6% murdered in the U.S.

** Nicholas,
Your math is off. It's 0.0056% for the US, not 5.6%, which would be about
1/410 the rate in Iraq. (Of course the numbers get a bit more complicated
that that when you consider that the Iraq numbers are over a period of
years with varying populations of soldiers.)

According to
http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/uscrime.htm
There are 5.6 murders per 100,000 capita in the United States.
According to the FBI
http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/data/table_01.html
In 2005 there were 16,692 murders in a population of 296,410,404
people in the united states.
That's 5.6% murdered in the U.S.
Iraq I didn't look up the numbers, I am not even sure where to look,
but I think
There were over 3,000 soldiers killed with a population (of
soldiers) at 130,000
That's 2.3% murdered in Iraq.
I would have thought the number in Iraq would be higher.
Be safe everyone.
