Explanation:

#N# is short for Numerator.

#D# is short for Denominator.

Fractions typically take the form #N/D# where #N# is the numerator and #D# the denominator.

In a reduced fraction, the numerator and denominator have no common factor larger than #1#.

So in the given example, Tanya calculated:

#76/91 xx 7/19 = (76xx7)/(91xx19) = (4xxcolor(red)(cancel(color(black)(19)))xxcolor(green)(cancel(color(black)(7))))/(color(green)(cancel(color(black)(7)))xx13xxcolor(red)(cancel(color(black)(19)))) = 4/13#

So:

#N = 4#, #D = 13# and #N+D = 17#
