How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 62 = 1.258065
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.258065 × 100 = 125.8065%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 125.8065% of 62 is 1.258065 × 62 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/62 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 62 = 125.8065%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/62*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.
