think about it like this: Denomonater is Down

i believe the denominator is the bottom and the numerator is the top. however, I don't have a way to make this easier to remember. Sorry.

Consider common fractions such as  ½  or  ¾ , etc. We see that the top is the smaller number in common fractions.

Now,count the letters in these words: "numerator" and "denominator". Which word has the fewest letters? "Numerator" is the shorter word, in common fractions it's also the smaller number.

Finally, generalise this to all fractions, both proper and improper: the top number is always the numerator.
