71/72 as a percentage is 98.61%. This fraction is just a tiny bit less than a whole, so its percent value is almost 100 %.
When you look at 71 out of 72 parts, you can see that only one part is missing. That missing piece makes the percentage drop just a little from a perfect 100 %.
In everyday terms, 98.61% means you have almost everything you need—think of it like getting 98.61 out of 100 points on a test. It’s a strong score that shows you’re very close to the maximum.
Because the number is rounded to two decimal places, the actual value might be a hair more or less, but for most purposes 98.61% is accurate enough to describe the size of 71/72.
