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}. |
