A fraction like 72/2128 can show up when 72 people in a group of 2,128 share a certain trait, such as attending an event or responding to a survey. That group represents about 3.38%, so it describes a small portion of the whole.

To picture 3.38%, imagine about 3 people out of every 100, with a little extra added. In a group of 2,128, 72 is noticeable but still much smaller than half, a quarter, or even one-tenth of the total.
