How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |6 − 58| = 52
  2. Average of the values: (6 + 58) ÷ 2 = 32
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 52 ÷ 32 × 100 = 162.5%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.625 × 32 = 52, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(6-58)/((6+58)/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

58 is 52 more than 6. Measured against their average, 32, that gap is 162.5%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $6 and another $58 for the same item, the prices differ by 162.5%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 52 by 6 gives 866.6667%, and dividing it by 58 gives 89.6552%. The average, 32, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
