In Steam achievements it always gives:
% of all players
Is there anyway to know total number of players though?

Are you interested in the total number of downloads? If so, this answer might answer your question. – user149305 Feb 14 '18 at 23:24

Well I guess my question also entails: what are they basing the % off? – user3306356 Feb 14 '18 at 23:24

That's an interesting but separate question. My hunch is that it's based off of downloads, since games that give you achievements for opening the game still have less than 100% completion. Open a new question and I'll see what I can do. – user149305 Feb 14 '18 at 23:26
There's no native way to do it*, but you can do certain math calculations with the information shown on SteamDB.
With Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Shot With Their Pants Down as our example, we follow this steps:
Search the game on SteamDB
Select "Graphs & Spy" on the left side
We grab the number of owners (in this case, 39.980.725)
A calculation is done with the achievement percentage
0.786 * 39980725 = 31424849.85
An approximated of 31.424.850 players got the achievement.
Asterisk Note*: You can find extensions and user scripts for Firefox and Chrome, but that will require work setting everything up.
If you install the Enhanced Steam addon for Chrome/Firefox, it will show you player-statistics from steamspy.com on the game's Steam Store page
