A value like 2 out of 46, or about 4.35%, might show up when only a few people in a group choose a certain option. For example, if 2 students out of 46 are absent or prefer a particular lunch, that is a small share of the whole group.

To picture 4.35% quickly, think of about 4 people out of every 100, or roughly 1 person out of every 23. It is a little more than 4% but much less than 5%, so it represents a fairly small portion.

A common mistake is to treat 2/46 as if it were 2%, since the numerator is 2. The denominator matters just as much: two out of 46 is a larger share than two out of 100, even though both fractions have a numerator of 2.
