How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 13 ÷ 56 = 0.232143
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.232143 × 100 = 23.2143%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.2143% of 56 is 0.232143 × 56 = 13.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/56 = p/100, so p = 13 × 100 ÷ 56 = 23.2143%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13/56*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.
