what are rational number
Answers
A rational number, in Mathematics, can be defined as any number which can be represented in the form of p/q where q ≠ 0. Also, we can say that any fraction fits under the category of rational numbers, where the denominator and numerator are integers and the denominator is not equal to zero. When the rational number (i.e., fraction) is divided, the result will be in decimal form, which may be either terminating decimal or the repeating decimal.
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers with the condition that the divisor is not zero.
It means a number form Integer/Integer is a rational number where denominator is not zero.
Mathematically, the number of the form p/q, where ‘p’ and ‘q’ are integers and q ≠ 0, are called rational numbers.
