student asking question

I assume the phrase "small fraction" is like a "tip of the iceberg" or a "small portion." Then, is there a phrase like "big fraction" as well?

Yes, you're right! "Small fraction" can be understood as small portion/percentage/part. The opposite applies as well - "big fraction" can be used, along with any other adjective that indicates size. Ex: It's a minuscule fraction of our business. Ex: A huge fraction of our sales comes from social media marketing.
