A value like 46 out of 47, or 97.87%, could describe how often a bus arrives on time or how many questions someone answers correctly. It’s a very high share, with just a small part left over.

To picture it quickly, imagine 47 dots with 46 colored in and only one left blank. You can also think of it as almost all of a group, just shy of 100%.
