You can change the percent to a fraction or a decimal and divide in the usual way.

Percent means "per hundred" (/100), so you can easily change any percent to a fraction by replacing "%" with "/100".

14% = 14/100

Because you are familiar with the place values of decimal digits, you know that any number divided by 100 is that number expressed at the second decimal place to the right of the decimal point.

14% = 14/100 = .14
128% = 128/100 = 1.28
3% = 3/100 = .03

Now, for the division part of your question.

23/14% = 23/(14/100) = 2300/14 = 164 2/7
23/14% = 23/.14 = 2300/14 = 164 2/7
