A value like 139/138 can show up when something is just slightly above its original amount, such as a price increase, a test score with bonus points, or a measurement that grew a little. It represents about 100.72%, so the new amount is only a bit more than the starting point.

To picture it quickly, think of one whole item plus a very small extra piece. Since the numerator is only 1 greater than the denominator, 139/138 is just over 100%, by less than 1 percentage point.

A common mistake is to treat 139/138 as exactly 100% because the two numbers are so close. It is not equal to one whole; the extra 1 in the numerator means the value is slightly greater than 1.
