How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |1 − 57| = 56
  2. Average of the values: (1 + 57) ÷ 2 = 29
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 56 ÷ 29 × 100 = 193.1034%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.931034 × 29 = 56, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(1-57)/((1+57)/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

57 is 56 more than 1. Measured against their average, 29, that gap is 193.1034%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $1 and another $57 for the same item, the prices differ by 193.1034%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 56 by 1 gives 5,600%, and dividing it by 57 gives 98.2456%. The average, 29, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
