  1. Divide the part by the whole: 66 ÷ 56 = 1.178571
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.178571 × 100 = 117.8571%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 117.8571% of 56 is 1.178571 × 56 = 66.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 66/56 = p/100, so p = 66 × 100 ÷ 56 = 117.8571%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =66/56*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.
