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)
Proper fractions are factions with a numerator lower than the denominator but an improper fraction has a greater numerator than the denominator
A fraction has a numerator and a 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.

The numerator is what you are going divide with, while the denominator is what you are going to divide by. Example: You want to divide 2 by 4. So, 2/4. 2 is what you are going to divide with, so it will be the numerator. 4 is what you want to divide by, so it will be the denominator.
The same way as with a positive denominator. The difference is, you change the sign of the numerator.

you switch the numerator with the denominator then multiply the numerator first then the denominator.
The same numerator as which numerator and the same denominator as which denominator?
"Regular" fractions have integers for the numerator and denominator. Complex fractions have fractions at one or both of those spots.
they are both in a fraction?
That is a vinculum.
Proper and improper fractions are alike in that they both represent parts of a whole. Both types of fractions have a numerator (the top number) and a denominator (the bottom number). The relationship between the numerator and denominator determines the value of the fraction. The main difference between proper and improper fractions is that in a proper fraction, the numerator is smaller than the denominator, while in an improper fraction, the numerator is equal to or larger than the denominator.
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.
