Question

How are denominators and divisors alike?

Answer 1

When a division is written in the form of a fraction, divisor becomes denominator, while dividend or remainder is numerator.

Explanation:

I refer to another question asked today itself which is available here.

In this one has to divide `22690` by `757` and while `22690` is dividend, `757` is divisor.

The division process leads to `29` as quotient and `737` as remainder.

However, when we write the same as improper fraction `22690/757`, which from division process we know is equivalent to `29 737/757`,

in this form i.e. when a division is written in the form of a fraction, divisor becomes denominator, while dividend or remainder is the numerator.
