denominator

The bottom number in a fraction — how many equal pieces the whole is cut into.

In a fraction \frac{a}{b}, the denominator is b, the number on the bottom. It tells you how many equal-sized pieces the whole was divided into; it can never be zero.

Examples

  • In \frac{3}{5}, the denominator is 5 — the whole was cut into five equal pieces.
