How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 4 ÷ 21 = 0.190476
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.190476 × 100 = 19.0476%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 19.0476% of 21 is 0.190476 × 21 = 4.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/21 = p/100, so p = 4 × 100 ÷ 21 = 19.0476%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4/21*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

4 is between a tenth and a quarter of 21. The part that is left, 17, is the other 80.9524%.

Test scores: 4 correct answers out of 21 is a score of 19.0476%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 4 is 19.0476% of a number, you can get that number back: 4 ÷ 0.190476 = 21. And 21 as a percentage of 4 is 525%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
