What is the percentage difference between 1 and 2? Here we will give you the definition of "the percentage difference between 1 and 2" and then show you how to calculate the percentage difference between 1 and 2.

"The percentage difference between 1 and 2" is the difference between 1 and 2 on a number line as a percentage. To get the difference as a percentage, you divide the absolute difference by the average of 1 and 2, and then multiply it by 100.

To calculate the percentage difference between 1 and 2, we use this four-step process:

Step 1) Calculate the absolute difference between 1 and 2 on a number line by subtracting the numbers, and then get the absolute value of the quotient:

1 - 2 = -1
|-1| = 1

Step 2) Find the average of 1 and 2 by adding them together, and then divide the sum by 2:

1 + 2 = 3
3 / 2 = 1.5

Step 3) Divide the absolute difference from Step 1 by the average from Step 2:

1 / 1.5 = 0.666666666666667

Step 4) And finally, multiply the answer in Step 3 by 100 to get the percentage difference between 1 and 2:

0.666666666666667 x 100
= 66.6666666666667

That is all there is to it. The percentage difference between 1 and 2 is:
