No, it is smaller. The numerator represents parts of a whole. The denominator represents the whole, or how many parts you need to make a whole. So if you have 2/7, that means only 2 parts out of seven wholes are filled. if you have 12/4, that means the denominator was filled 3 times, and you have 3 wholes.
