A value like 2/153 can show up when only a very small share of a large group is affected. For example, it could represent 2 defective items in a shipment of 153 or 2 people in a survey group of 153, which is about 1.31%.

To picture it quickly, imagine 153 small dots with just 2 of them colored in. It is a little more than 1 out of every 100, so it represents a tiny portion of the whole.

A common mistake is to treat 2/153 as if it were 2/150 or even 2/100 without noticing the difference. Those estimates can be useful for a quick sense of size, but the exact fraction is slightly larger than 1% and much smaller than 2%.
