A fraction like 170/165 can show up when something reaches slightly more than its original amount, such as sales hitting 170 items after a goal of 165. That means the result is 103.03% of the goal, so it is just a little above 100%.

To picture it quickly, imagine one full container or progress bar representing 165 units, with five extra units added on top. Since five is a small part of 165, the total looks only slightly longer than the full amount—about 3% more.

A common mistake is to treat 103.03% as if it means 3.03% total, rather than 3.03% above the original 100%. It also does not mean the amount is exactly double; it is only a little greater than the starting value.
