A value like 2 out of 198 can show up in everyday life when only a tiny number of people in a large group choose a certain option. For example, it could describe two defective items in a shipment of 198 or two students out of 198 receiving a particular award, which is about 1.01%.

To picture it quickly, imagine a group of about 200 people and notice that only two of them are included. Since 1% is about one person out of every 100, this fraction is just a little higher than 1%.

A common mistake is to think 2/198 is close to 2% because the numerator is 2. The denominator matters just as much, so two out of nearly 200 is much smaller than two out of 100.
