How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 62 ÷ 59 = 1.050847
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.050847 × 100 = 105.0847%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 105.0847% of 59 is 1.050847 × 59 = 62.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/59 = p/100, so p = 62 × 100 ÷ 59 = 105.0847%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62/59*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.
