a rational number
None. A rational number is a number that can be written as the quotient of two integers where the divisor is not zero. An irrational number is a real number that cannot be written as the quotient of two integers where the divisor is not zero. Any given real number either can or cannot be written as the quotient of two integers. If it can, it is rational. If it cannot, it is irrational. You can't be both at the same time. The square root of -1 is not a real number and it cannot be written as the quotient of two integers, so it is neither rational nor irrational.
It is a rational number.
an integer is any whole number for example 1, -1, 72, -72 the quotient is the answer to a division problem so the quotient of 2 integers is one whole number divided by another whole number
The definition of a rational number is the quotient of any two nonzero integers.
Rational nunber
If a number can be expressed as the quotient of two numbers (a ÷ b) and b is not zero, then it is a rational number.
Any positive number can be written as a quotient of two positive numbers or a quotient of two negative numbers. Any real number can be written as the quotient of two real numbers.
Any number that cannot be expressed as the quotient of two integers.
No. The second integer MUST be non-zero.
Yes, a rational number is a real number. A rational number is a number that can be written as the quotient of two integers, a/b, where b does not equal 0. Integers are real numbers. The quotient of two real numbers is always a real number. The terms "rational" and "irrational" apply to the real numbers. There is no corresponding concept for any other types of numbers.
Because integers can be written as fractions. Any number that can be written as a fraction is a rational number.
