There are two sections to a vulgar fraction, such as 1/2. The first is the top number, the numerator, which "numerates" the parts that go into the whole, and the denominator, which "denominates" or designates the total number of parts.
For example, in the number 1/2 (one half), there are 2 designated, or denominated, parts, in the whole. Therefore, the denominator in 1/2 is 2. Similarly, the denominator in 1/4 (one quarter), is 4.
