How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 56 ÷ 62 = 0.903226
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.903226 × 100 = 90.3226%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 90.3226% of 62 is 0.903226 × 62 = 56.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 56/62 = p/100, so p = 56 × 100 ÷ 62 = 90.3226%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =56/62*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.
