Which set is the intersection of integers and rational numbers?

The intersection of integers and rational numbers is the set of integers. Integers are whole numbers that can be positive, negative, or zero, while rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. Since all integers can be expressed as a ratio of the integer itself and 1, they are a subset of rational numbers, making their intersection the set of integers.

The ratio of integers to rational numbers is 0.
