RafaIf the rational number is expressed, as a fraction, in the form p/q then find the highest common factor (HCF) of p and q and divide both by the HCF.
Alternatively, find any common factor and divide p and q by that factor. Then repeat with the new ratio. Continue until the HCF is 1.
To write a rational number as a fraction in simplest form, you need to express it as a ratio of two integers with no common factors other than 1. Start by writing the rational number as a fraction with the numerator and denominator expressed as integers. Then, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and divide both by this GCD to simplify the fraction. Repeat this process until the fraction cannot be simplified further.

5 examples of rational numbers?
Just write any five fractions, with integers (whole numbers) in the numerator and the denominator. Don't use zero as a denominator.
What do rational numbers look like?
Any fraction with integers in the numerator and in the denominator is a rational number.If you write them as decimals, a rational number will either terminate, or the same group of digits will repeat forever, as in 0.33333... or 2.174646464646...
