How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 52 ÷ 53 = 0.981132
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.981132 × 100 = 98.1132%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 98.1132% of 53 is 0.981132 × 53 = 52.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/53 = p/100, so p = 52 × 100 ÷ 53 = 98.1132%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52/53*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.
