The larger or the smaller? For the range of non-negative real numbers:
? 100*ABS(a-b)/MAX(a,b) && % larger
? 100*ABS(a-b)/MIN(a,b) && % smaller
The math changes when you encompass negative numbers treating size as their scalar distance from 0 (you need to use ABS(a) and ABS(b)) or you start dealing with other than real numbers.
