subfraction

Part of part

A subfraction is a fraction of a fraction—a smaller portion within an already divided whole.

The term appears in technical and scientific contexts where quantities are divided into increasingly fine parts: Only a subfraction of the sample contained the mutation.

It emphasizes how small a portion is relative to the whole.
