A value like 526/1051, or about 50.05%, can show up when just over half of a group chooses one option. For example, it could describe students who prefer a certain lunch, customers who select a product, or people who answer “yes” in a survey.

You can picture it as almost exactly half, with one side having just a tiny edge over the other. Since 50% is the halfway point, 50.05% is only slightly more than half and would be hard to notice without precise measurements.

A common mistake is treating 50.05% as if it were much larger than 50%. The extra 0.05 percentage points is very small, so it means only a slight difference from an even split.
