No, karat (or carat) as a purity measurement is divided by 24.
i.e.
1 kt is 1/24th gold (or platinum or other measured metal)
12kt's is 12/24th or 50% pure
24kt's is 24/24th or 100% pure
not to be sonfused with carat (mass), which is a measure of gemstones where 1ct = 200g.

A karat is used as a measure of purity in gold. There are 24 karats equalling a 100% purity in the gold. So with 14 karat gold that means there are 14 parts (14/24) is pure gold and the other 8 parts (8/24) is a separate metal, most commonly copper. 14 karat gold is 58.33% pure gold.
