I was advised to divide salary by 100 to give your day rate

Not thought of it like that before but that is exactly what my first daily rate worked out to be against the perm salary I was leaving.

That works at the lower end of the day rate scale - when you're talking of rates over £500/day from my experience that doesn't hold.

Probably, but this was back when I was talking about first going contracting 7-8 years ago up north.

So rather than trying to come up with a 'fair number', why don't you just figure out market rate and pick that?
