A rational number is defined as a number that can be expressed as the ratio
(fraction) of two integers.
So if you see a fraction that you know is a rational number, and the denominator isn't
an integer, there's always something you can do to simplify it, without changing its value,
so that the denominator and the numerator both areintegers.

How is a rational number that is not an integer different from a rational number that is an number?
A rational number which is an integer can be simplified to a form in which the denominator is 1. That is not possible for a rational number which is not an integer.
Which is a biggest rational number?
Since there is no biggest integer, there can be no biggest rational number - since any integer is a rational number with the denominator = 1.
What is the difference between a rational number that is not an integer and a rational number that is an integer?
When expressed as a ratio of two integers (not intergers!), the simplest form for the integer but not others, has 1 as the denominator.
What are numbers that can be written as fractions?
If the numerator and the denominator is an integer, then it is also called a "rational number".
Why is 4.323223222 an irrational number if you can predict what comes next?
Being rational or irrational is not about "predicting the next digit"; the definition of a rational number is that you can write it as a fraction, with integer numerator and denominator.Being rational or irrational is not about "predicting the next digit"; the definition of a rational number is that you can write it as a fraction, with integer numerator and denominator.Being rational or irrational is not about "predicting the next digit"; the definition of a rational number is that you can write it as a fraction, with integer numerator and denominator.Being rational or irrational is not about "predicting the next digit"; the definition of a rational number is that you can write it as a fraction, with integer numerator and denominator.
