The numerator is the number on the top of a fraction, for example, in the fraction 1/2 (one half), the numerator is 1. The denominator of 1/2 is 2.
when the top number is half of the bottom number (1/2, 3/6, 800/1600, etc.)
The top number of a fraction is the numerator. The bottom number is the denominator. In the fraction 1/5, the number 1 is the numerator, and the number 5 is the denominator.
To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). For example, 1/2 (one half) is 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5
Denominator - the bottom number of a fraction. In the term "1/2" or "one-half," the one is the numerator (top number) and the two is the denominator. It is what the top number is divided by. Nothing "does" denominator.
1/2 can be equal to 3/6 because in both cases, the fractions equal 50%, or half of 1. No matter what the fraction's denominator (The bottom number) is, as long as the Numerator (The top number) is exactly half of the denominator, the fraction will be equal to 1/2.
One half = 1/2.Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero integer. You will have an equivalent fraction.One half = 1/2.Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero integer. You will have an equivalent fraction.One half = 1/2.Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero integer. You will have an equivalent fraction.One half = 1/2.Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero integer. You will have an equivalent fraction.
Every fraction that has the same number on top and bottom is equal to one whole. 1/2 is a half. 1/3 is a third. 1/4 is a quarter. 1/5 is a fifth, and so on...
The bottom half of a vulgar fraction, for example, 1/2 (one half), is called the denominator. The number denominates (designates) the number of parts in the whole.
If the numerator (the number at the top of the fraction) is bigger than the denominator (the number at the bottom), then the fraction is more than 1.
A number represented by a whole number and a fraction (for example, 1 1/2 - one and a half) is called a mixed number.
a mixed number. example: 1+1/2, or a top heavy fraction, 1+1/2 = 3/2
