the.com/denominator
The part of the fraction that decides how small your slice really is.
means The number below the line in a fraction, showing how many equal parts the whole has been divided into.
from From Latin denominare, 'to name thoroughly' — de- (completely) plus nominare (to name, from nomen, 'name'). Medieval mathematicians used it for the number that 'names' the fraction's parts — eighths, thirds, hundredths — while the numerator counts how many of those named parts you've got.
