How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 51 ÷ 37 = 1.378378
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.378378 × 100 = 137.8378%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 137.8378% of 37 is 1.378378 × 37 = 51.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/37 = p/100, so p = 51 × 100 ÷ 37 = 137.8378%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =51/37*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

51 is more than the whole amount (1.378 times as much) of 37. 51 goes past 37 by 14, which is another 37.8378% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 51 items against a target of 37 means reaching 137.8378% of the target, beating it by 37.8378%.

Turning it around

If you know that 51 is 137.8378% of a number, you can get that number back: 51 ÷ 1.378378 = 37. And 37 as a percentage of 51 is 72.549%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
