If a value is expressed in the form of a ratio then the total number of parts is some multiple of the denominator of the fraction.
For example, if there is a Pizza with 6 slices, then 4 slices out of that would represent 2/3 of the pizza. There is nothing in that number that tells you that there were 6 slices.
If the fraction has been simplified then there is no such number.
The denominator (bottom number) of the fraction.
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 bottom number of a fraction is called the denominator and tells you into how many parts the whole has been divided. For example in 1/4, the denominator is 4 and tells you that there are 4 parts into which the whole has been divided. The top number is called the numerator and tells you how many parts (of the bottom number) there are. For example in 3/4 the numerator is 3 and tells you that there are 3 of the 4 parts into which the whole has been divided.

The Denominator
It tells you the number of parts of a whole.
the denominator
Denominator.
The denominator of a fraction represents the total number of equal parts into which a whole is divided. It indicates the number of equal parts the whole is divided into and is located below the fraction bar. For example, in the fraction 3/5, the denominator is 5, representing the total number of equal parts in the whole.
When the fraction is written in its simplest form, if necessary as an improper fraction, the denominator (the number at the bottom gives the number of parts in a whole.
