When I divide the a container/div, suppose one of my containers/div which is 360px in width by lets say extremely large 4096px the result is a 11.3% container/div on a 360px width device the container/div is not even a container/div any longer rather a long, slim rectangular box, that is why I said, in this scenario I have to use MQ instead of percentages.

Um, not necessarily. Your stacked columns that I mentioned could be 90% of the viewport, for example, so as to give you a nice margin on the right and left (using margin 0 auto 0 auto;). That 90% could continue up to the point that the layout can support side-by-side.

    as a responsive container/div now turned into an extremely narrow
    container/div that looks horrible ?

Enter Media Queries stage left and... ACTION!

On small screens, you'd have a different layout so as to avoid this. Stack your columns instead of side-by-side. When the viewport is wide enough to support side-by-side columns that aren't ridiculously narrow, add a breakpoint and add styles at that point to reposition the stacked columns to be side-by-side.

If I have a 4096 width resolution, I know what are thinking and have said already :-) I divide by a 320px width container that works out to 12.8% my container/div has transformed what previously was working well as a responsive container/div now turned into an extremely narrow container/div that looks horrible ?

I don't recommend using all of these 'just because'. Good info though.
