How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 73 ÷ 62 = 1.177419
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.177419 × 100 = 117.7419%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 117.7419% of 62 is 1.177419 × 62 = 73.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/62 = p/100, so p = 73 × 100 ÷ 62 = 117.7419%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73/62*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.
