How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 1 ÷ 71 = 0.014085
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.014085 × 100 = 1.4085%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.4085% of 71 is 0.014085 × 71 = 1.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1/71 = p/100, so p = 1 × 100 ÷ 71 = 1.4085%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =1/71*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.

What the result means
