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.
13 is the ratio of 13 to 1 ... nice and rational.
-42 is rational. All integers are rational numbers as they can be expressed as the number over 1 which, being one integer over another integer, is the form of a rational number.
yeah... a RATIONAL number is an integer that CAN be put into a fraction an IRRATIONAL number is an integer that CAN NOT be put into a fraction

It is a number that can be expressed as a fraction but is NOT an integer. For example. 3 is an integer and it is rational since we can write 3/1, but 1/3 is not an integer and it is rational since we wrote it as a fraction or a ratio. Remember that a rational number is one that can be written as A/B where A and B are integers. Now if B is 1, which is certainly an integer, A/1 is rational but since A is an integer, A/1 is an integer.

-1 is all of an integer, a whole number, and a rational number.
An integer is a whole number. For instance, 1, 2, 3... There is no decimal part. So 23 is an integer. A rational number is a number that can be written as a/b. 23 can be written as 23/1, so 23 is a rational number. Thus, 23 is BOTH an integer and a rational number.
1/2.
Negative 1 is a rational number. It is an integer (though not a counting number) and all integers are rational.
Any fraction that does not equal to a whole number is real and rational, but not an integer. 1/5 is rational because it is represented by the division of two integers, but it is not itself an integer, which are natural numbers such as 1, 2, and 3.
The number -1/2 is a rational number, a negative integer divided by a positive integer.
An integer is any number which can be either positive and negative but not a fractional number. It is also a whole number. Examples are -1,256, -589, -1, 0, 1, 569, 5,236. It is always a rational number. By definition, a rational number is the division of two integers, where the divisor is not zero. Since the divisor is 1 when the number is an integer, then all integers are rational.
Yes. k/1 is rational, but reduces to k which is an integer.
