Word origin

分数 (fēnshù, "divided number") is formed from 分 (fēn, "part") and 数 (shù, "number"), a combination that suits both a part expressed numerically and points earned.

Usage tips

  • The phrase 考试分数 (kǎoshì fēnshù, "test score") uses the same word as mathematics, so a school context does not automatically signal a fraction.
