A percent error depends on the size of the measurement as well as the error itself. It's very intuitive to think about: If you're measuring a piece of paper and you're off by 4 cm, you'll have problems; if you're measuring the moon, that's nothing. A bigger percent error is a bigger deal to an engineer. You can calculate it the same way as any percentage: Divide the error by the total length of the measurement, then multiply by 100 to convert it from a proportion to a percentage.

Error is a synonym of mistake.
