So a time signature of 4/4 means count 4 (top number) quarter notes to each bar. So the only numbers you will see as the bottom number (the second number) will correspond to note values 1=whole note (you will never see this), 2=half note, 4=quarter note, 8-eigth note, etc. That is, whether to count the beats as quarter notes, half notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, etc. The second number (bottom number) tells you what kind of notes to count.
