Best Answer

It is rational.

A rational number is one that can be expressed as one integer over another (p/q) where the bottom number q is not zero.

Particularly the bottom number q can be 1, that is p/1 are rational numbers.

But any number divided by 1 is the number itself, that is p/1 = p where p is any integer

0 is an integer, thus 0 is a rational number.
