How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 73 ÷ 53 = 1.377358
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.377358 × 100 = 137.7358%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 137.7358% of 53 is 1.377358 × 53 = 73.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/53 = p/100, so p = 73 × 100 ÷ 53 = 137.7358%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73/53*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.
