How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 56 ÷ 46 = 1.217391
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.217391 × 100 = 121.7391%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 121.7391% of 46 is 1.217391 × 46 = 56.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 56/46 = p/100, so p = 56 × 100 ÷ 46 = 121.7391%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =56/46*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.
