Denominator of a fraction

The denominator function allows the calculation of the denominator of a fraction.


A fraction is a number that is written as follows : `a/b` with a and b integers and b not zero. It's the quotient of a by b, that is to say : `a/b` = a:b. a is the numerator of the fraction and b is the denominator of the fraction. In other words, in a fraction, the numerator term is located above the stroke, the denominator is the end located below the stroke. The calculator with the denominator function used to find the denominator of a fraction or an expression with fractions.

  • Fraction denominator
  • The calculator is able to determine the denominator of a fraction : to find the fraction denominator of `4/5`, enter denominator(`4/5`), after calculus, the result `5` is returned.

    The calculator also applies to fractions that contain letters : to pour calculate the fraction denominator of `a/b`, enter denominator(`a/b`) , after calculation, the result `b` is returned.

    The denominator function is used on fractions but also to expressions containing fractions, after calculation, the simplified result is returned.

  • Denominator of an expression with fraction
  • When the denominator function is applied to an algebraic expression, the expression is first converted to a fraction, then the denominator of the fraction obtained is returned. So to find the denominator of the following expression `4/5+3/7`, enter denominator(`4/5+3/7`), after calculation, he fraction obtained is `43/35`, then the function returns the denominator `35`.

    The denominator function also applies to literal expressions.
