How did he calculate the width for main column with the percentage formula..980 is content so he must use 646.3829.. to

646.3829../980 = .65957446808511 x 100 , But how do we actually decide on the number 646.3829 as the width in px for a responsive column?

Content is 980px (100%): You want 2 columns, one 66% width and the other 33% width. So you need 66% of 980 which is 646.4 approx.
