How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 56 ÷ 57 = 0.982456
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.982456 × 100 = 98.2456%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 98.2456% of 57 is 0.982456 × 57 = 56.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 56/57 = p/100, so p = 56 × 100 ÷ 57 = 98.2456%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =56/57*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.
