Template:Mergeto In math, the bottom part of a fraction is called the denominator. A denominator cannot be zero. If the line part of the fraction is flat, the denominator is on the bottom. If the line part is at a slant, the denominator is on the right.The upper part is called the numerator of the fraction. For example:

  • In [math]\displaystyle{ 3/4 }[/math] the denominator is "4".
  • In [math]\displaystyle{ 23+76/100 }[/math] the denominator is "100".
  • In [math]\displaystyle{ 15/(35+7) }[/math] the denominator is "(35+7)".
  • In [math]\displaystyle{ a / (6b + c) }[/math], the denominator is "(6b + c)".
