In this case Fair Isaac Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Fair Isaac Corporation shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0166% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Fair Isaac Corporation shares, roughly 17 shares are currently held short).
