Summary Easy Understanding of Rational Numbers
Rational numbers are numbers that can be written in the form of a fraction p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0. They include all positive, negative, and zero values that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. Examples of rational numbers are 1/2, -3/4, 5, and 0. Every integer is also a rational number because it can be written with denominator 1 (like 5 = 5/1). Rational numbers can be represented on a number line and have either terminating or repeating decimal forms.
