A fraction like 98/5301 might describe a small share of people in a large survey, such as customers who choose a rare product option. It could also represent a low chance of an unusual event or a small portion of a city’s residents using a specific service. In percentage terms, that share is about 1.85%.

To picture 1.85%, imagine about 2 people out of every 100, or roughly 18 to 19 people in a group of 1,000. Since 98 is much smaller than 5,301, the fraction is clearly only a small slice of the whole, not close to one-fifth or even one-tenth.

A common mistake is to read 1.85% as 1.85, rather than as less than two out of every 100. It is also easy to confuse the numerator and denominator, but the denominator, 5,301, represents the entire group while 98 represents the selected part.
