Not necessarily, you need to look at the context of the percentage you are finding. For example, in machines, when finding percent efficiency, the output can be greater or less than the input, the output is divided by the input so sometimes the number may be greater or smaller. However, in the case of merchandise sales, you do not find sales that are greater than 100% off so it would actually be the smaller number divided by the bigger number.

1. Divide the bigger number by the smaller number.e.g. 15 and 10. 15 divided by 10 is 1.52. Subtract 1e.g. 1.5 minus 1 is 0.53.
