There's a fine line between numerator and denominator (and it's called a 'vinculum').

    @ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz one wonders if a significant fraction of people know about this... I'm sure we can easily rationalize any observations.

    @ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz I was taught another use of the vinculum; when it is placed above a sub-expression, this is to be treated as a bracketed expression. It is commonly used in this way in conjunction with the radical sign, to cover the term or expression whose root is to be evaluated.
