NUMERATOR

Nu"mer*a"tor, n. Etym: [L. numerator: cf. F. numérateur.]

1. One who numbers.

2. (Math.)

Definition: The term in a fraction which indicates the number of fractional units that are taken.

Note: In a vulgar fraction the numerator is written above a line; thus, in the fraction 5/9 (five ninths) 5 is the numerator; in a decimal fraction it is the number which follows the decimal point. See Fraction.
