1. We assume, that the number 784.363 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 784.363, so we can write it down as 100%=784.363.
4. We know, that x% equals 656.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=656.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=784.363
2) x%=656.8
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=784.363/656.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 656.8 is what percent of 784.363

100/1.1942189403167=x
83.736739239357=x
x=83.736739239357

now we have:
