CPA Question Home Sale Exemption on a Multi-unit

CPA question: If you have capital gains on a multifamily property that you have lived in 2 out of the past 5 years is the home sale tax exclusion prorated to only the unit you lived in or can you use the exemption on the entire building? I'd appreciate any guidance if anyone has had experience with such a situation.

Straight proration.....it’s like you own two different properties, a primary residence and an investment property.
