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.
