A fraction represents a decimal number in the form of one number over (or divided by) another. To convert a fraction to a decimal the numerator is divided by the denominator; the denominator is the divisor in this case.

A division can be written with the divide symbol (÷) or a solidus (or slash /). The latter is used by most (if not all) computer languages. The solidus is also used to separate the numerator from the denominator of a fraction. The divisor of a division and the denominator of a fraction both occur on the right of the slash in the same place; thus they are the same thing.
