 | | The word "numerator" is related to the word "enumerate."To enumerate means to "tell how many"; thus the numerator tells us how many fractional parts we have in the indicated fraction.To denominate means to "give a name" or "tell what kind"; thus the denominator tells us what kind of parts we have (halves, thirds, fourths, etc.). |
 | | If a fraction is greater than or equal to 1—i.e., the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator—then it is also known as an improper fraction. |
