Why is the numerator and denominator the same when it is a whole?

The denominator tells how many pieces something is divided into. The numerator tells how many of those pieces are there. So if there are 4 (bottom number) in a set, and you have 4 (top number), you have it all. Or, taken another way, a fraction means "divided by." So 4 divided by 4 is 1. Consider this, lets say a pie is divided into 5 slices (denominator). If you eat all 5 (numerator), you have eaten the entire pie.
