How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 56 ÷ 38 = 1.473684
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.473684 × 100 = 147.3684%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 147.3684% of 38 is 1.473684 × 38 = 56.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 56/38 = p/100, so p = 56 × 100 ÷ 38 = 147.3684%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =56/38*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.
