What term is any number that can be shown as the quotient of two integers?

It is a rational number.


Are fraction rational number?

A fraction is a number that expresses part of a whole as a quotient of integers (where the denominator is not zero).A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a quotient of integers (where the denominator is not zero), or as a repeating or terminating decimal. Every fraction fits the first part of that definition. Therefore, every fraction is a rational number.But even though every fraction is a rational number, not every rational number is a fraction.Why? Consider this:Every integer (all the whole numbers, including zero, and their negatives....-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3...) is a rational number, because it can be expressed as a quotient of integers, as in the case of 4 = 8/2 or 1 = 3/3 or -3 = 3/-1 and so on. So integers such as 4 or 1 can be expressed as the quotient of integers.But an integer is not a fraction. 4 is an integer, but it is not a fraction. 4 is not expressed as the quotient of integers. The difference here is in the wording.A fraction is a number that expresses part of a whole. An integer does not express a part. It only expresses a whole number.A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a quotient of integers, or as part of a whole, but fraction is a number that is (must be) expressed as a quotient of integers, or as part of a whole - there is a difference. The difference is subtle, but it is real.In a nutshell, the fractions are a subset of the rational numbers. The rational numbers contain the integers, and fractions don't.Note: Mathematicians do not generally use the term "fractions." They usually only talk about rational numbers. Fractions are more or less a term that is used for pedagogical reasons.It's kind of funny. Someone uses a term not used in math to teach math, then makes up tons of tests about "fractions, improper and proper fractions," etc. and tests you on them, even though they are not mathematical terms. Go figyah!


What is one term that is expressed as a real Number variable a product or quotient of a variable and real number?

It is a term.

It is called a term.


What is a term that is expressed as a real number a variable a product and a quotient called?

It is simply a variable term.


What is the term for a number divided by another number?

In division, a number divided by another number is a dividend. dividend / divisor = quotient


What is the correct name for the number being divided?

The correct term is dividend. The number doing the dividing is the divisor and the answer is the quotient.


What has one term that is expressed as a real number a variable a product or quotient of a variable and real number.?

A monomial.


What is multiplicative inverse of a number?

It is the "reciprocal" although this term is usually restricted to inverses of integers.


What is the relationship between whole numbers and integers?

The term "whole number" is somewhat ambiguous. It MAY refer to integers; or it MAY refer only to non-negative integers ("counting numbers").


What is a nonzero whole number that can be evenly divided into that number?

Any non-zero whole number can be evenly divided into itself. If n is a whole number, n/n = 1. In fact, 0 is the only number, whole or not, for which this is not true. Additionally, 'whole number' is a vague term. It can refer to non-zero positive integers, positive integers including zero, or all integers depending entirely on the meaning of the person using the term.


What do integers allow you to do that whole numbers do not?

The term "whole numbers" is ambiguous; it may refer either to integers, or only to positive integers (perhaps including zero). The set of integers is closed under subtraction, that means, you can subtract any number from any other number. This is not possible in the set of counting numbers (non-negative integers).
