A value like 3/198 can show up when only a few items in a large group meet a certain condition, such as three damaged products in a shipment of 198. It represents about 1.52%, so it is a small share of the whole.

To picture it quickly, imagine a group of about 200 people, objects, or events, with only three selected. Since 1% of 200 is about two, 3/198 is a little more than 1% but still far below 2%.

A common mistake is to think that the 3 means the amount is close to 3%, without considering the much larger denominator, 198. The denominator tells you the size of the entire group, so a few out of nearly 200 is a much smaller percentage than three out of 100.
