Basic example: "If you are asked to put a ratio in the simplest form, make sure that you have found the smallest factor that goes into both [?]."

I've tried searching for ratio diagrams in Google, with no success.

I appreciate all help

Numerator and denominator refer to a fraction. Ratios can be expressed as fractions, but they are not quite the same thing. For a ratio $a:b$, $a$ and $b$ are sometimes called the terms, with $a$ the antecedent and $b$ the consequent.

$\mathrm{ratio}=\frac{\mathrm{numerator}}{\mathrm{denominator}}$
