How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 71 ÷ 17 = 4.176471
  2. Multiply by 100: 4.176471 × 100 = 417.6471%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 417.6471% of 17 is 4.176471 × 17 = 71.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/17 = p/100, so p = 71 × 100 ÷ 17 = 417.6471%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71/17*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.
