When considering impaired Goodwill can it be calculated as a fraction of Goodwill or does it have to be all of it?

Lets say Goodwill for a company is calculated to be $500,000. Can Impaired-Goodwill be determined to be some portion of this, say for example, $200,000 or is my question not making any sense?

Thank you,

If GOODWILL ,which is an intangible asset
Is impaired it can be reduced in the accounts.

It is called writing off goodwill.
