To explain simply, think of a fraction. There is a number (in simple cases) on top and a number on the bottom. The numerator is the top number, the denominator is the bottom one. An easy trick I used to remember is that d is for down- denominator goes down. Though probably not as useful, numerator has a u in it, to represent up. Hope this helps!

The difference is in their altitude. The numerator is the number on top of the fraction. The denominator is the number on the bottom. (I remember it by saying that November is before December)
A fraction has a numerator and a denominator.
Proper fractions are factions with a numerator lower than the denominator but an improper fraction has a greater numerator than the denominator
That is a vinculum.
the numerator is the top number and the denominator is the lower number. If they get switched it can change the entire value of the fraction.
