The formula

decimal = percent ÷ 100; percent = decimal × 100; odds = 1 ÷ decimal.

A percentage is a value out of 100, so dividing by 100 gives the decimal and multiplying by 100 goes back. The fraction is the decimal reduced to lowest terms, and the "1 in N" odds are the reciprocal of the decimal.
