The fact that you can't express it as a fraction (with integer numerator and denominator).
The number 2468 is a rational number. A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers, where the denominator is not zero. In this case, 2468 can be expressed as the ratio 2468/1, which makes it a rational number.
yes because there is a repeatind decimal like, - 2.24224222422224222224 so that makes -0.0600600060000 rational
No. It can be written as a fraction where the denominator is not 0. For example, 314/100. This makes it rational.
If it has whole numbers on top and bottom, or could be written that way, then it's rational. Positive or negative makes no difference.
The number 5 plus the square root of 7 is irrational. A number is considered rational if it can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, while an irrational number cannot be expressed in this form. Since the square root of 7 is not a perfect square and cannot be simplified to a rational number, the sum of 5 and the square root of 7 is irrational.
