In maths the Base refers to the number or letter at the bottom of a fraction.

-a fraction is a number that isn't whole and is maybe half or maybe a third of the a number

example 1.)

(we will use " / " as the fraction and the letter or number after the / will be on the bottom of the fraction)

2/5 so the 5 is the Base in this fraction because it is at the bottom of the fraction.

example 2.)

(we will use the / as the fraction again and the letter or number after the / will be the one on the bottom of the fraction.)

2/a so a is the Base in this fraction
