1/72 as a percentage is 1.39%. This tiny slice of a whole is often used in measurements, cooking, and small‑scale calculations where precise, but simple, numbers are needed.
When you see 1/72, think of it as a very small part of a larger group. In everyday terms, it’s like having one piece out of a set of 72 equal pieces. The decimal version is 0.0139, and when you turn that into a percent, it becomes the rounded 1.39%.
Because the value is so small, it’s handy for describing tiny differences, such as a slight margin of error or a modest increase in a budget. Remember, whenever you need a quick estimate, you can treat 1/72 as about one and a half percent of the whole.
