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.
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.
Since there is no biggest integer, there can be no biggest rational number - since any integer is a rational number with the denominator = 1.
When expressed as a ratio of two integers (not intergers!), the simplest form for the integer but not others, has 1 as the 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.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.
If the numerator and the denominator is an integer, then it is also called a "rational number".

It can be any number: integer, rational, real, complex.
Quite simply, a number that is not a rational number. And a rational number is one that can be written as a fraction, with integer numerator and denominator.
9.0 is both an integer and a rational number. As an integer, it is a whole number without any fractional or decimal parts. As a rational number, it can be expressed as a fraction where the numerator is 9 and the denominator is 1, making it a ratio of two integers.
If the numerator and the denominator is an integer, then it is also called a "rational number".

a rational number is any number that CAN be written in the form a/b where b is not 0, and a and b are integers. So the denominator can be any integer (except 0) it does not have to be 100.
No. 3/(1/7) is a rational number. However, (1/7) cannot be used as an integer. Incidentally, the number equals 21.
