The denominator b represents the number of equal parts the whole has been divided into, and the numerator a represents how many parts are included. The denominator, b, cannot equal zero because division by zero is undefined. A mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction. When a fraction has a numerator that is smaller than the denominator, it is called a proper fraction, and its value is less than one.
