How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 42 ÷ 23 = 1.826087
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.826087 × 100 = 182.6087%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 182.6087% of 23 is 1.826087 × 23 = 42.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 42/23 = p/100, so p = 42 × 100 ÷ 23 = 182.6087%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =42/23*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.
