How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 6 ÷ 23 = 0.26087
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.26087 × 100 = 26.087%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 26.087% of 23 is 0.26087 × 23 = 6.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/23 = p/100, so p = 6 × 100 ÷ 23 = 26.087%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6/23*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

6 is between a quarter and a half of 23. The part that is left, 17, is the other 73.913%.
