Answer 2

The number above the fractional bar is called the numerator.

• The formula for a fraction is generally given as a/b. In the formula, a represents the numerator and b represents the denominator.
• The denominator is always far below fraction bar and the numerator is always above it. A numerator is used to symbolise the denominator, or the number of elements that make up the whole.
• Therefore, it represents the numeral, which is typically split by the numeral downwards and is part of a fraction that is upwards.
• For example, 3/2 represents a fraction, and the line separating the numbers 3 and 2 is the fraction bar. Thus, here 3 is the numerator and 2 is the denominator.
• Therefore, the number above the fractional bar is called the numerator.
