The most of vs Most of

Both "the most of" and "most of" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Most of" is the more common and natural choice when referring to a majority or a large portion of something. On the other hand, "the most of" is less common and is typically used when emphasizing the superlative nature of the majority being referred to.
