How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 56 ÷ 37 = 1.513514
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.513514 × 100 = 151.3514%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 151.3514% of 37 is 1.513514 × 37 = 56.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 56/37 = p/100, so p = 56 × 100 ÷ 37 = 151.3514%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =56/37*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.
