Is the quotient of two nonzero numbers always a rational number?
Yes, as long as the two nonzero numbers are themselves rational. (Since a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient of two rational numbers, or any number that can be written as a fraction using only rational numbers.) If one of the nonzero numbers is not rational, the quotient will most likely be irrational.
Is a rational number a real number?
Yes, a rational number is a real number. A rational number is a number that can be written as the quotient of two integers, a/b, where b does not equal 0. Integers are real numbers. The quotient of two real numbers is always a real number. The terms "rational" and "irrational" apply to the real numbers. There is no corresponding concept for any other types of numbers.
Are integers always sometimes or never rational numbers?
All integers are rational numbers, but not all rational numbers are integers.2/1 = 2 is an integer1/2 is not an integerRational numbers are sometimesintegers.
The quotient of two integers is always a rational number?
Yes. All numbers are rational numbers except repeating decimals like 1.3(repeating). * * * * * Repeating decimals are also rationals. However, the quotient is not defined if the second number is the integer zero!
How many rational numbers are there between-10 and 10?
Infinite. A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers, so -500,000,001/50,000,001 is a rational number slightly greater than -10. Strangely, there are even more irrational numbers, which are also infinite. Ow. My brain always hurts on that one.
