How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 56 ÷ 26 = 2.153846
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.153846 × 100 = 215.3846%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 215.3846% of 26 is 2.153846 × 26 = 56.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 56/26 = p/100, so p = 56 × 100 ÷ 26 = 215.3846%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =56/26*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.
