It depends on the level of mathematics. At the basic level, it usually is, but you can get surds in which the numerator (top) is an irrational number.
The Golden ratio, phi = [1 + sqrt(5)]/2. The top is 1 + sqrt(5), an irrational term.
The measure of a right angle (in radians) is pi/2. Again, an irrational number, on top.

Is the numerator in a fraction the whole number or the fraction?
There is no whole number in a fraction. A fraction is a little number on top and another little number on the bottom. The numerator is the little number on top.
What is a whole number with a fraction?
A mixed number and when the offer number is on top it is an incomplete
Can a fraction and a whole number be divided?
Yes. If you mean dividing a whole number INTO a fraction here is how you do it. Take the whole number and write it as a fraction where the whole number is the numerator (top part of the fraction) and the number "1" is the denominator (the bottom part of the fraction). Now, turn that fraction upsides down so that the "1" is on top and the whole number is on the bottom. Multiply the numerator of the original fraction times the "1" giving you the original numerator as the new numerator. Multiply the whole number times the original denominator giving you the new denominator. If you means dividing the fraction into the whole number it is similar. Write the whole number as a fraction (as above) with 1 in the denominator. Then flip the fraction over and multiply the two numerators, the two denominators and you have your answer.
How do you turn a complex fraction into a regular fraction?
First you have to multiply the whole number with the top number in your fraction. REMEMBER TO KEEP THE BOTTOM NUMBER THE SAME!!!!! Your number will be an irregular fraction.
What is the numerator and denominator of a fraction?
The numerator is the top which is the part of the fraction and the denominator is the bottom which is the whole number.
Do all fractions convert to a mixed number?
No. A mixed number is one where there is a whole number and a fraction. If the whole number is 0 there is no whole number and all that remains is the fraction. All improper (top heavy) fractions can be converted to a mixed number.
How do you change a mix fraction to a proper fraction?
Multiply the bottom by the whole number...and then add THAT number by the top number,hope this is what you're looking for!
How do you write a fraction as a decimal with a whole number?
Divide the top number (numerator) by the bottom number (denominator) of the fraction and the number you come up with is your decimal.
What is a whole in fractions?
It's any fraction in which the top number (numerator) is the same or a multiple of the bottom number (denominator).
A fraction and a whole number with a whole number product?
The answer can be another fraction and a whole number or it can be a whole number.
What is a numerator in fraction?
The top number which represents how many parts of a whole.
How do you mulitply a whole number by a fraction?
Convert the whole number to a fraction by putting it over 1. Multiply the two fractions by doing the numerator*numerator (top times top) and denominator*denominator (bottom times bottom).
