Page X of Y in LaTeX Footer

Question

Is there a way to dynamically get Page X of Y in LaTeX using the fancy pagestyle or is some other package needed?

Answer 1

Use the lastpage package:

\usepackage{lastpage}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
...
\cfoot{\thepage\ of \pageref{LastPage}}

will put the current page counter \thepage, in front of the total number of pages.

Edit Thanks! I added fancyhdr.
