How should percent of Government Obligations be determined from information on a 1099-DIV if there are multiple funds in the Vanguard brokerage account?
Though percentages of GO are given on back pages for each fund, the information in Box 1 is not broken down per each fund.
Information about capital gains and long and short term dividends are given for each fund though.
Is simply subtracting capital gains from the total dividends and distributions the key before multiplying that by the percent for each?

check the 1099 again, Vanguard should provide a breakdown of 1099-DIV under "Detail for Dividends and Distributions"
For individual funds within the brokerage account they do provide details of different types of dividends and capital gain, such as:
Dividends: nonqualified, qualified, section 199a, another qualified, another section 199a, nonqualified, long term capital gain, etc., etc.
They do not provide an amount for Box 1a - Total Ordinary Dividends.
that's a breakdown you need, you should be able to tie out those details to Box 1a to confirm - Vanguard states on their 1099-DIV that Box 1a "includes lines 1b, 5, 2e" so should be total of any non-qualified, qualified, Section 199A distributions (there is no "ordinary" dividend in the breakdown). Box 1b should tie to the qualified dividends only.
