## Overview
We can get the numerator of a float value by using the `numerator` method.

## Syntax
```ruby
float_value.numerator
```
## Parameters
**`float_value`**: This is the float value we want to get the numerator of.
## Return value
The value returned is an integer that represents the numerator of the float value, `float_value`.
> Note: The numerator returned is machine dependent.
## Code example

# create float values
f1 = 2.0 
f2 = 5 / 2
f3 = 0.666
f4 = 100.77

# get numerator
puts f1.numerator
puts f2.numerator
puts f3.numerator
puts f4.numerator

## Explanation
* Lines 2-5: We create some float values.
* Lines 8-11: We invoke the `numerator` method on the float values we created. We then print the results to the console.
