13/56 as a percentage is 23.21%. This fraction is a bit less than one quarter, so the number looks small but it’s useful in many everyday situations.
When you see 13 out of 56 parts, you can think of it as a slice of a pizza that’s been cut into 56 pieces. If you wanted to compare that slice to a whole pizza expressed in percent, you’d say it’s 23.21% of the full pizza.
The decimal form (0.2321) and the percentage form are just two ways to show the same size. Knowing the percentage helps when you need to quickly estimate things like discounts, grades, or data percentages.
