A fraction like 8/198 could describe a small everyday portion, such as 8 defective items in a shipment of 198 or 8 students absent from a group of 198. That amount is about 4.04%, so it represents only a small share of the whole.

A common mistake is to describe 8/198 as 8%, simply because the numerator is 8. The denominator matters just as much, so the same 8 items would represent a much larger percentage in a smaller group.
