How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 26 ÷ 59 = 0.440678
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.440678 × 100 = 44.0678%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 44.0678% of 59 is 0.440678 × 59 = 26.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/59 = p/100, so p = 26 × 100 ÷ 59 = 44.0678%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26/59*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.
