denominator
Fraction's lower half
A denominator is the number below the line in a fraction, indicating how many parts the whole is divided into.
In 3/4, four is the denominator.
The common denominator or lowest common denominator is a shared divisor that allows fractions to be compared or combined.
Figuratively, a common denominator is something shared across a group: Fear was the common denominator among survivors.
Lowest common denominator often implies appealing to the most basic or unsophisticated tastes.
