How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 23 ÷ 6 = 3.833333
  2. Multiply by 100: 3.833333 × 100 = 383.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 383.3333% of 6 is 3.833333 × 6 = 23.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/6 = p/100, so p = 23 × 100 ÷ 6 = 383.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23/6*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

23 is more than the whole amount (3.833 times as much) of 6. 23 goes past 6 by 17, which is another 283.3333% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 23 items against a target of 6 means reaching 383.3333% of the target, beating it by 283.3333%.

Turning it around

If you know that 23 is 383.3333% of a number, you can get that number back: 23 ÷ 3.833333 = 6. And 6 as a percentage of 23 is 26.087%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
