In this case Dorman Products's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Dorman Products shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0328% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Dorman Products shares, roughly 33 shares are currently held short).
