How do the numerator and denominator of a fraction compare with the dividend and divisor of a division expression?

The numerator of a fraction is like the dividend in a division expression as both represent what is being divided. The denominator corresponds to the divisor, indicating into how many parts the numerator is divided. Thus, a fraction can be seen as a way to express a division operation.
