The fraction 1/71 represents a small share of a whole: about 1.41%. A value like this might show up when roughly 1 person out of every 71 is affected by an event, receives a prize, or belongs to a certain group.

To picture it quickly, imagine dividing 71 people into one-person slices and choosing just one of them. It is slightly more than 1%, so you can estimate it as about one person in every 70.

A common mistake is to treat 1/71 as exactly 1%, but it is noticeably larger than that. Another point of confusion is thinking the 71 means 71 percent; it actually means one part out of 71 equal parts.
