Thedenominator is thebottomnumber in a fraction, andwecansaythatthedenominator is thedivisorof a fraction. It definesthenumberofequal parts anitem is dividedinto.

Themeaningof denominator is thedivisorof a fraction or thenumberwhich is belowtheline in a fraction. It is justtheoppositeof a numerator, whichliesabovetheline in a fraction. Nowyou may consider, what a fraction is? Thefraction is one part when a whole is dividedintoequal parts. Mathematicallyits is shownbythedivisionoftwonumbers.
