Explanation:

N is short for Numerator.

D is short for Denominator.

Fractions typically take the form N/D where N is the numerator and D the denominator.

In a reduced fraction, the numerator and denominator have no common factor larger than 1.

So in the given example, Tanya calculated:

76/91 xx 7/19 = (76xx7)/(91xx19) = (4xxcolor(red)(cancel(color(black)(19)))xxcolor(green)(cancel(color(black)(7))))/(color(green)(cancel(color(black)(7)))xx13xxcolor(red)(cancel(color(black)(19)))) = 4/13

So:

N = 4, D = 13 and N+D = 17
