By dividing the number of at bats into the number of hits. For example, if a player has 400 at bats with 100 hits his avg is
100/400 = .250

it is the number of hits a batter has divided by the number of at bats they have. Example player A has 200 hits in 500 at bats then it would be 200/500= .400 batting average. Remember that walks and hit by pitches don't count as at bats.

Total number of hits divided by total at bats gives you a players batting average. (Remember that walks, hit by pitch, sacrifices, etc. do not count as a time at bat) Example: Batter bats 10 times and receives 4 hits, his batting average will be .400.

batting average is calculated by the number of hits devided by the total number of at bats. Walks and sacrifices are not included in the at bats. Reaching base on errors or fielders choice are calculated in the at batts but are not hits so they bring down the percentage.
