In a fraction, the line that divides the numerator from the denominator has a special name. What is it? First five to post the correct answer gets a 3 point coupon :)
As of now, no one has sent in the right answer. The most popular, a solidus, is the term used for a "/" in division and is commonly used when typing documents. I'm looking for the name given to the fraction bar, when the numerator is directly on top of the denominator. It has a fancy name. Find it.
Hi Mrs. Sadera! This is Danielle Perry. I got the answer. The answer is the fraction line. It's the horizontal line that separates the numerator from the denominator.
The line between the numerator and denominator is known as the fraction bar. It is also called the division bar. http://visualfractions.com/EnterFraction.html
When representing a fraction, we usually write it as a horizontal line. This horizontal bar separating the numerator and the denominator would be called VINCULUM. http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/33182
According to S. Schwartzman's The Words of Mathematics, the name's vinculum from the latin bind. The term is usually used for a bar over a group of numbers to indicate their grouping, e.g., over a period to shorten the decimal expression of rational numbers. http://www.cut-the-knot.org/htdocs/dcforum/DCForumID1/68.shtml

The name given to the line that divides the numerator from the denominator is a virgule or vinculum?
