How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 59 ÷ 59 = 1
  2. Multiply by 100: 1 × 100 = 100%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 100% of 59 is 1 × 59 = 59.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 59/59 = p/100, so p = 59 × 100 ÷ 59 = 100%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =59/59*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.

What the result means

59 is exactly the whole amount of 59.

Test scores: 59 correct answers out of 59 is a score of 100%, which on a common US grading scale is an A.

Turning it around
