Help on Numerator

Introduction to Numerator:

In this lesson let me basically put down on numerator which will help you on understand better.

* In general, the term numerator is defined as follows,
* A numerator is a number written over the line in a common fraction which is identified the total number of parts in the whole part like as2 in ½.
* Mathematically, a fraction contains dividend and divisor. Thus the dividend of fraction is called numerator.
* A numerator is a number in a fraction. Also it is called as nominator.
* The place of top number of a fraction is named as numerator.

Numerator Example:

Adding proper fractions for numerator:

Step1: verify whether the denominators are the similar or not (If not means, get LCD by cross-multiplying)

Step2: Add the numerators and locate the result on the same denominator

Step3: Finally decrease the fraction (if needed)

Example: This could also help us on perpendicular bisector

Find the numerator: 1 / 7 + 1 / 7

Step1: Fraction of both denominators is the same.

Step2: Add the numerators

1 / 7 + 1 / 7 = (1+1) / = 2 / 7

Step3: No need of reduction

2 / 7 = 2 / 7

So the final numerator is 2.
