A share of 1/45, or about 2.22%, might describe a small portion of a group, like one person in a club of 45 getting a particular prize. It can also show up when tracking a rare event or comparing a small fee with a larger total.

To picture it quickly, imagine splitting a group of 45 people into 45 equal shares and highlighting just one. That’s a little more than 2 out of every 100, so it’s a small slice but not quite as tiny as 1%.

A common mistake is to treat 2.22% as 2.22 people out of 100. Percentages describe a share of a total, so the actual number of people depends on how large the group is.
