How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 52 ÷ 50 = 1.04
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.04 × 100 = 104%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 104% of 50 is 1.04 × 50 = 52.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/50 = p/100, so p = 52 × 100 ÷ 50 = 104%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52/50*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

52 is more than the whole amount (1.04 times as much) of 50. 52 goes past 50 by 2, which is another 4% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 52 items against a target of 50 means reaching 104% of the target, beating it by 4%.

Turning it around

If you know that 52 is 104% of a number, you can get that number back: 52 ÷ 1.04 = 50. And 50 as a percentage of 52 is 96.1538%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
