What is share market? 

The meaning of share in common language is used to represent a fraction. When a company wants to raise capital, it sells a part of its ownership to the public. This part is called a share. People who buy these shares are called shareholders of the company.

Let us take a real example to understand the meaning of share.

For example, the total capital of a firm is Rs 10 lakh. The firm divides its total capital into 1000 parts at an equal price. Now each divided part of the company's capital is the smallest part of the company's capital.

In this way, the price of each part i.e. share will be Rs 100. And this small part is called a share. If you buy shares of that company, then you will become the owner of the share you pay to buy.

Note:- Share is also known as stock, equity in the stock market. Thus, the words share, stock or equity all have the same meaning.
