How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 61 ÷ 62 = 0.983871
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.983871 × 100 = 98.3871%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 98.3871% of 62 is 0.983871 × 62 = 61.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 61/62 = p/100, so p = 61 × 100 ÷ 62 = 98.3871%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =61/62*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.
