Retrovirus insertion loci a 1 in 50,000,000 chance?

When discussing the chance that a retrovirus will insert itself into the same location in 2 different human hosts DNA, I have heard the number “about 1 in 50,000,000”.

Could anyone here provide some justification for this number? Are there any references that could be provided?
