ЛЬВИНАЯ ДОЛЯ (чего) NP sing only usu. used as subj or obj fixed WO
the larger or largest (and usu. better) part (of sth.): the lion's share
the greater part (of sth.) (in limited contexts) the bulk (of sth.).
По моим расчётам, «монстр» (ракета) Королёва должен был весить на старте около 400 тонн, и львиная доля этого гигантского веса приходилась на двадцать слабых, но тяжёлых двигателей, которые должны были поднимать самих себя (Владимиров 1). According to my calculations, Ko-rolyov's monster (of a rocket) must have weighed around 400 tons on the ground, and the greater part of this tremendous weight was accounted for by the 20 small-thrust but heavy engines which had to lift themselves into space (1a).

Наконец, на допросах мы начали разбирать бумаги, стихи и записки, собранные следователем (Семёновым). Львиная доля шла на уничтожение, в печь, а некоторые возвращались родным (Ивинская 1). Eventually (during my interrogation), we began to go through all the papers with poems and notes which (the investigator) Semionov had collected together. The bulk of them were afterward destroyed, though some were returned to my relatives (1a).
