When you write a division as one number above (or before) another, with a line between them, then the number on the top is the numerator. So, in the division x/y, x is the numerator. y is called the denominator.
It is the denominator and the top number is the numerator
If you are subtracting vertically, the top number is the minuend.
Top is numerator. Bottom is denomenator.
