Slg. is Total bases (1 "point" for a single, 2 "points" for a double and so on. You then divide this by the total number of at Bats.
Total Bases
__________ = Slugging Percent
Total At Bats
This stat favors quicker runners because they are able to get extra bases easier. Home runs don't come often enough to have a major impact although they do help out.
ARod, the player with the best Slugging % is a power hitter that is also able to hit for extra bases.
Magglio Ordonez, who leads in doubles is second among SLG.
Curtis Granderson who leads with triples is 4th highest.

I use
SLG == (hits + doubles + 2* triples + 3*home runs) / at-bats
conventionally to three decimal places.
