3/71 as a percentage is 4.23%. This tiny fraction shows up when you split something into 71 equal parts and take just three of them. It’s a small number, less than one‑tenth of a whole.
Because the value is under 5 %, it’s often used to describe rare events or low chances. For example, if a class has 71 students and only three win a prize, the winning rate would be about 4.23%.
In everyday language, you can think of 4.23% as roughly 4 out of every 100. That makes it easy to compare with other percentages and understand how unlikely or uncommon something might be.
