How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 6 ÷ 51 = 0.117647
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.117647 × 100 = 11.7647%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.7647% of 51 is 0.117647 × 51 = 6.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/51 = p/100, so p = 6 × 100 ÷ 51 = 11.7647%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6/51*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 tenth and a quarter of 51. The part that is left, 45, is the other 88.2353%.
