In simplest terms, you divide what you want (1/72) by what you have (1/35). You could go through all the machinations of dividing by fractions, converting each to a decimal, then doing the division. Since I'm a really lazy person by nature, I suggest saving yourself some effort: Both fractions have the same numerator (1), so get rid of it, flip the places of the numbers, and just divide 35 by 72. The numbers still come out closely enough for our purposes, and in this case are dead on with each other.
1/72 divided by 1/35 = .4861111
35 divided 72 = .4861111
Hope this helps,
