Greetings all !

I am trying to come up with a routine to convert a byte value to a
percentage.  That is, for an input value of zero, the output would be
zero.  For an input of 255, the output would be 100.  The obvious
solution is:  Percentage = Trunc(Decimal / 2.55).  Since I don't know of
an easy way to divide by a fractional number, I came up with this
alternative:
Percentage = (Decimal * 100) / 255.  Now I am faced with having to use
sixteen bit operations for a problem that has eight bit values for both
input and output.  If there is an easier way to do this, would someone
please enlighten me?  I have been thinking this over for quite some time,
so maybe I "can't see the forest for the trees."

Thanks in advance!
