How many parts are available out of the total number of parts.
The number in a fraction that tells how many equal parts are in the whole or group is called the denominator. It is the bottom number of the fraction and represents the total number of equal parts that make up the whole.
The denominator.
The numerator is the number above the line in a common fraction showing how many of the parts indicated by the denominator are taken. The denominator is the number below the line in a common fraction showing the total number of parts.
In the original fraction it is the denominator but if the fraction has been simplified you are out of luck. There is no way to recover the value of the total (nor the parts) from a simplified fraction.
