French article rejected by cartographer after ignoring carbon dividend (9)
I believe the answer is:
numerator
'dividend' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for numerator that I've seen before include "fractional dividend" , "quantity of parts?" , "Figure going over a line" , "Upper figure in a fraction" , "it goes over the line" .)
