Integers (whole numbers) are RATIONAL.

Why?

Well,

a real number a is irrational if and only it cannot be written in lowest reducible form p/q in which p is an integer( - 10000, - 5, 0,1, 32, 34, etc.), and q is a natural number(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.) and they share no common factor besides 1, that's is

there is no number b that is not 1 such that both p and q divides b.

34 is an integer, and we know for any number a

a = 1 x a and 1 = 1 / 1

so

a = 1 x a

a = 1 / 1 x a

a = a / 1

So 34 = 34 / 1.

Now, we have an integer (34) as p, and a natural number (1) as q.

Now you know if it's a rational number or not?

No. 3.4 can be written as 34/10, which means it is a rational number.
