A value like 170/198 might show up when 170 people out of 198 complete a survey, pass a test, or attend an event. It represents about 85.86%, so the result is fairly high but not quite universal.

To picture it quickly, think of a group of about 200 items with roughly 28 missing from the successful group. You can also estimate it as a little less than 86 out of every 100, which makes it easy to recognize as close to five-sixths.

A common mistake is to treat 170/198 as exactly 86% or to assume that nearly everyone is included. Rounding is useful for a quick estimate, but the original fraction is more precise and shows that 28 out of the 198 did not belong to the counted group.
