In math, the top part of a fraction is called the numerator. If the line part of the fraction is flat, the numerator is on top. If the line part of the fraction is at a slant, the numerator is on the left. The lower part is called the denominator of the fraction. For example:
- In 3⁄4 the numerator is "3".
- In 23
+76⁄100 the numerator is "76". - In (15+6)⁄(35+7) the numerator is "(15+6)".
- In (a + b) / 6c, the numerator is "(a + b)".
