Oh, dude, so rational numbers are denoted with "Q" because it stands for "quotient." Like, rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, so it's all about that division vibe. So, yeah, "Q" for quotient, keeping it real simple for us math enthusiasts.

Probably, because Q denotes the set of rational numbers, which can formaly understood to be quotients of integers.
