How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 16 ÷ 6 = 2.666667
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.666667 × 100 = 266.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 266.6667% of 6 is 2.666667 × 6 = 16.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/6 = p/100, so p = 16 × 100 ÷ 6 = 266.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16/6*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

16 is more than the whole amount (2.667 times as much) of 6. 16 goes past 6 by 10, which is another 166.6667% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 16 items against a target of 6 means reaching 266.6667% of the target, beating it by 166.6667%.

Turning it around

If you know that 16 is 266.6667% of a number, you can get that number back: 16 ÷ 2.666667 = 6. And 6 as a percentage of 16 is 37.5%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
