In fractions, the numerator states the number of parts out of the whole. The denominator states how many parts in the whole. For example: If you slice a Pizza and there are eight (8) slices, the denominator is eight (8). Now, if you eat two of those slices you ate two, the numerator, out of eight, the denominator.

Can a fraction with the same numerator and different denomenator be equal?

No, a fraction with the same numerator but different denominators cannot be equal. The value of a fraction is determined by the ratio of the numerator to the denominator, so if the denominators are different, the fractions will represent different values. For example, ( \frac{1}{2} ) is not equal to ( \frac{1}{3} ) despite having the same numerator.
