Hmm, in English, if you write it as a fraction "35/140", then 35 is the 
"numerator" and 140 is the "denominator".  However, these terms aren't 
commonly used outside of math class, and I'm not positive they apply to 
percentages as well, but I think that is as close as you're going to get :)

Jason
