Integers are WHOLE numbers, like 3, 18, 34, and 256. Rational numbers are any numbers which can be expressed as a ratio of two integers - 3/4 is a rational number. 124.45 is a rational number. In other words, rational numbers INCLUDE all integers. Fractions are Rational numbers.

TaigaOh, dude, so like, rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as fractions, you know, like 1/2 or 3/4. Integers, on the other hand, are whole numbers, like -3, 0, 5, but without any fractions or decimals. So, yeah, rational numbers are like the cool kids who can hang out with fractions, while integers are just the whole numbers chilling on their own.

Difference between rational numbers and rational expressions?
A Rational number is a fraction of two integers; a rational expression is a fraction that contains at least one variable
Are the rational numbers a subset of integers?
No, integers are a subset of rational numbers.
Are all rational numbers integers-?
Rational numbers are integers and fractions
Are all rational numbers are integers?
No, not all rational numbers are integers. All integers are whole numbers, but a non-whole number can be rational if the numbers after the decimal point either 1. end or 2. repeat. So, sometimes rational numbers are integers, sometimes they're not. But all integers are rational numbers.
Rational numbers that are not integers?
Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (3/2, 15/16). All integers, then, are rational numbers (12 = 12/1).
