How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 71 ÷ 56 = 1.267857
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.267857 × 100 = 126.7857%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 126.7857% of 56 is 1.267857 × 56 = 71.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/56 = p/100, so p = 71 × 100 ÷ 56 = 126.7857%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71/56*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.
