How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 53 ÷ 52 = 1.019231
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.019231 × 100 = 101.9231%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 101.9231% of 52 is 1.019231 × 52 = 53.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 53/52 = p/100, so p = 53 × 100 ÷ 52 = 101.9231%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =53/52*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.
