The top number tells you how many beats are in the measure, the bottom number tells you what kind of note gets equals one beat. 4/4 means there are four beats in the measure and the 1/4 note equals one beat. a 12/8 signature means there are 12 beats in the measure and the 1/8th note gets the beat. THere are a good variety of time signatures, but they pretty much follow this rule.
