den(x)

DESCRIPTION
For real x, den(x) returns the denominator of x when x is expressed
in lowest terms with positive denominator. In calc,
real values are actually rational values. Each calc real
value can be uniquely expressed as:
n / d
where:
n and d are integers
gcd(n,d) == 1
d > 0
The denominator for this n/d is d.
