Denominator

By , About.com Guide

Definition:

In a division operation in Excel, the denominator is the number or expression written after the forward slash ( / ) such as = 5 / 4. In this case, the "4" is the denominator.

In a common fraction, such as 1 / 2, the denominator is the number below the line - in this case "2" is the denominator.
