What is the charateristics of rational numbers?
The defining characteristic is that they can be represented in the form of a ratio, p/q, of two integers, where q > 0.
Why is the product of any two rational numbers a rational number?
Rational numbers are represented in the form of p/q , where p is an integer and q is not equal to 0.Every natural number, whole number and integer can be represented as rational number.For example take the case of integer -3, it can be represented in the form of p/q as -3/1 and q is not equal to zero, which means that rational numbers consist of counting numbers, whole numbers and integers.Now, what will be the result of product of any two rational numbers?Let us take the case of two rational numbers which are x/y & w/z, their product is equal toxw/yz, which is a rational number because multiplication of x and w results in an integer and also multiplication of y and z results in an integer which satisfies the property of rational numbers, which is in the form of p/q.So, product of any two rational numbers is a rational number.
How will you describe rational numbers?
Rational numbers are numbers which can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, p and q (where q >0), in the form p/q.
What is the abbreviation for rational numbers?
Q
Are negitive numbers rational?
yes all negative numbers are rational numbers because they can be written as p/q form where p and q are any integer.
