An integer is any number which can be either positive and negative but not a fractional number. It is also a whole number. Examples are -1,256, -589, -1, 0, 1, 569, 5,236. It is always a rational number.
By definition, a rational number is the division of two integers, where the divisor is not zero. Since the divisor is 1 when the number is an integer, then all integers are rational.

How is a rational number that is not an integer different from a rational number that is an integer?
A rational number which is an integer can be simplified to a form in which the denominator is 1. That is not possible for a rational number which is not an integer.
Is pi over 12 a rational number?
No. To be a rational number it must be an integer over another integer. π is not an integer, nor can it be made into an integer by multiplying it by another integer, thus one twelfth of π is not a rational number.
Is 11 an integer or rational number?
Yes and yes. It is an integer and so it is also a rational number.
Is 23 an integer or rational number?
An integer is a whole number. For instance, 1, 2, 3... There is no decimal part. So 23 is an integer. A rational number is a number that can be written as a/b. 23 can be written as 23/1, so 23 is a rational number. Thus, 23 is BOTH an integer and a rational number.
Is 6.3 a rational and integer number?
6.3 is a rational number but it is not an integer because only whole numbers are integers.
