What is the top part of a fraction called?
Well, honey, that top part of a fraction is called the numerator. It's the number that tells you how many parts of the whole you're dealing with. So next time you see a fraction, just remember the numerator is the boss of the top!

The numerator in a fraction is above the line.
What is the number below the fraction bar in a fraction?

What is the part of a fraction above the line?

Why or why not can a fraction be simplified if the numerator is a prime number?
"7" is a prime number. But you can simplify 7/14, 7/21,/7/28, and so on. Answer: If the denominator is also a multiple of the prime number, then the fraction can be simplified; otherwise, it cannot. To simplify any fraction, the numerator and denominator must have a factor in common, as in the examples above.
