How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 1 ÷ 51 = 0.019608
- Multiply by 100: 0.019608 × 100 = 1.9608%
- Check: Work backwards: 1.9608% of 51 is 0.019608 × 51 = 1.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1/51 = p/100, so p = 1 × 100 ÷ 51 = 1.9608%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =1/51*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.
