How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 56 ÷ 52 = 1.076923
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.076923 × 100 = 107.6923%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 107.6923% of 52 is 1.076923 × 52 = 56.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 56/52 = p/100, so p = 56 × 100 ÷ 52 = 107.6923%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =56/52*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.
