A subscript is a small number (or letter) placed below and to the right of another number (or letter). Subscripts can mean many different things in different fields of endeavor.

In Chemistry the components of a molecule are designated by a letter indicating an element and a subscript indicating the number of those atoms in the molecule (Water = H2O = two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom in each water molecule)

Subscripts are often used to refer to members in a mathematical sequence or set. For example, in the sequence O = (44, -23, 560), O3 refers to the third member of sequence O, which is 560.

What is the definition of the word denominator?

A fraction can be written in the form of one number placed over another number, separated by a short horizontal line (although sometimes we use a diagonal line instead because of typographical limitations, in which case we get something such as this: 1/2 meaning one half). The number on top (or in the diagonal version, to the left) is the numerator, and the number on the bottom (or in the diagonal version, to the right) is called the denominator. This fraction tells you to divide the number on top by the number on the bottom. So 1/2 means take the number 1 and divide it by 2. The denominator is the number by which the numerator is divided.
