A value like 20/291, or about 6.87%, might describe how many people in a large survey chose a certain answer. It could also represent a small share of customers using a particular feature or a few items in a large collection.

To picture it quickly, imagine 291 dots with only 20 of them highlighted. That is a little less than 7 out of every 100, so it represents a small but noticeable portion.

A common mistake is to think 20/291 is close to 20%, because the numerator is 20. The denominator matters just as much: since 291 is much larger than 20, the fraction is well below one-tenth.
