A share of 1/54, or about 1.85%, could describe a small result in a survey, such as the number of people who pick an uncommon answer. It can also help show how often something happens over many tries, like a rare event occurring about once in every 54 cases.

To picture it quickly, think of a group of 100 people: a little fewer than 2 people would make up this share. It is small, but not so tiny that it would disappear in a large group.

One common mix-up is treating 1.85% as the same as 1.85. The percent sign means the amount is less than 2 out of 100, while 1.85 without the sign is much larger.
