How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |1 − 44| = 43
  2. Average of the values: (1 + 44) ÷ 2 = 22.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 43 ÷ 22.5 × 100 = 191.1111%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.911111 × 22.5 = 43, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(1-44)/((1+44)/2)*100. Dividing by one of the values instead of their average turns it into a percentage change, which depends on which value you start from.

What the result means

44 is 43 more than 1. Measured against their average, 22.5, that gap is 191.1111%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $1 and another $44 for the same item, the prices differ by 191.1111%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 43 by 1 gives 4,300%, and dividing it by 44 gives 97.7273%. The average, 22.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
