A fraction like 62/879 might show up when 62 people out of 879 respond to a survey, use a service, or meet a certain condition. That group represents about 7.05%, so it could describe a small but noticeable share of a larger community.

To picture 62/879 quickly, imagine dividing 879 people into 100 roughly equal groups and selecting about seven of those groups. It is a little more than 7%, or close to 7 people out of every 100.

A common mistake is to treat 7.05% as if it means 7.05 whole people out of 100. Percentages can describe an average share, so the actual number of people in a group must still be a whole number.
