Just a quick question, is it right to call the numerator and the denominator of a fraction by "terms"? I don't think that "terms" is the right word here, but i don't know any alternatives. Can any one help me with this?! What are the right word here to use instead of "Terms"?

$\begingroup$The numerator and the denominator are the "parts" of a fraction.
It comes from the terminology of simple fractions. The fraction $\dfrac{2}{3}$ is two parts out of three parts.
