Is the quotient of two nonzero numbers never a rational number?

The quotient of two nonzero integers is the definition of a rational number. There are nonzero numbers other than integers (imaginary, rational non-integers) that the quotient of would not be a rational number. If the two nonzero numbers are rational themselves, then the quotient will be rational. (For example, 4 divided by 2 is 2: all of those numbers are rational).


When adding two rational numbers with different signs the sum will be zero Is this aways sometimes or never true?
