From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
numerator
n
  1. the dividend of a fraction
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Numerator \Nu"mer*a"tor\, n. [L. numerator: cf. F.
      num[82]rateur.]
      1. One who numbers.
  
      2. (Math.) 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 [frac59] (five ninths) 5 is
               the numerator; in a decimal fraction it is the number
               which follows the decimal point. See {Fraction}.
