Is the quotient of two nonzero numbers never a rational number?
The quotient of two nonzero integers is the definition of a rational number. There are nonzero numbers other than integers (imaginary, rational non-integers) that the quotient of would not be a rational number. If the two nonzero numbers are rational themselves, then the quotient will be rational. (For example, 4 divided by 2 is 2: all of those numbers are rational).
Is there rational numbers than irrational?
There are infinitely many rational numbers and irrational numbers but the cardinality of irrationals is larger by an order of magnitude.If the cardinality of the countably infinite rational numbers is represented by a, then the cardinality of irrationals is 2^a.
How do you order rational numbers between two consecutive integers?
Subtract rational number A from the other rational number B. If the answer is> 0 then B is bigger than A= 0 then B is equal to A< 0 then B is smaller than A
Are most numbers rational or irrational?
The set of irrational numbers is larger than the set of rational numbers, as proved by Cantor: The set of rational numbers is "countable", meaning there is a one-to-one correspondence between the natural numbers and the rational numbers. You can put them in a sequence, in such a way that every rational number will eventually appear in the sequence. The set of irrational numbers is uncountable, this means that no such sequence is possible. All rational and irrationals (ie real numbers) are a subset of complex numbers. Complex numbers, in turn, are part of a larger group, and so on.
What are irrational and rational numbers?
Rational numbers are any numbers that can be expressed as a fraction. For example 1/3, 1/2, and 2. Irrational numbers are numbers that can not be expressed as a fraction. Some examples are Pi, the square root of 2, and e. Both rational and irrational numbers are real numbers. Unlike imaginary numbers like the square root of -1.An irrational number is a number that can't be expressed by a fraction having integers in both its numerator and denominator. A rational number can be.Rational and irrational numbers are both subsets of real numbers, together they make up the set of what we call real numbers.If you have trouble remembering which is which, just think of rational numbers as fractions, or numbers that can be written as a/b where a and b are integers. Remember that b can equal 1 so [2 = 2/1]. Therefore all integers, as well as whole and natural numbers are also rational numbers.Irrational numbers are real numbers that are not rational. One way that people describe Irrational is the answer goes on and on forever and does not have a repeating pattern. Two classic examples are Pi (3.14159...), and the base of the natural log e (2.7128...).Rational, when expressed in decimal form, can stop (terminate) at a certain point or it may have a pattern of digits which repeats forever. An example of a rational that repeats is 1/3. Certainly it is written as a/b with a and b both being integers, but its decimal representation is 0.333.... where in this case the dots mean that the (3) repeats forever.There is a hierarchy of numbers and understanding it sometimes helps remember and understand the differences.At the top of the hierarchy are the complex numbers. Next come the real numbers and then then rational numbers. Next comes the integers, then the whole numbers and last the natural numbers.An irrational number is a number that can't be expressed by a fraction having integers in both its numerator and denominator. A rational number can be.

Why are positive rational numbers greater than negative rational numbers?
Because 1. Positive integers are greater than negative integers, and 2. Division by a positive number preserves the order.
Why are integers always included in rational numbers?
A rational number is a number than can be written p/q with p and q integers Any integers can be written this was with q=1
Are All rationals numbers are in the set of natural numbers?
1. No.The Natural numbers are the positive integers (sometimes the non-negative integers).Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (positive or negative). All Natural numbers are in the set of Rational numbers. 2. No. Natural numbers are usually defined as integers greater than zero. A Rational number is then defined simply as a number that can be expressed as an integer divided by a natural number. (This definition includes all rational numbers, but excludes division by zero.)
How are numbers prime and composite?
Prime numbers have only two factors. Composite numbers have more than two.
What numbers are irrational integers?
I think fractions are irrational unless you make them rational. Is pi rational? Tough question...I don't really remember anything. It's probably a trick question, but if it's not than maybe a repeating decimal.
Is there rational numbers than irrational?
There are infinitely many rational numbers and irrational numbers but the cardinality of irrationals is larger by an order of magnitude.If the cardinality of the countably infinite rational numbers is represented by a, then the cardinality of irrationals is 2^a.
How do you order rational numbers between two consecutive integers?
Subtract rational number A from the other rational number B. If the answer is> 0 then B is bigger than A= 0 then B is equal to A< 0 then B is smaller than A
Are there rational numbers then irrational numbers?
There are infinitely many rational numbers, but there are infinitely more irrational numbers than rational numbers. There are more irrational numbers between 0 and 1 than there are rational numbers period.I was kind of guessing what you were trying to ask, so let me explain some background in case that wasn't quite it. Rational numbers are those that are representable as the ratio of two integers: 2/3, 355/113, 5 (=5/1). Irrational numbers are those that cannot be represented exactly by the ratio of two integers; some familiar irrational numbers are pi and the square root of 2. There are an infinite number of integers, and therefore an infinite number of rational numbers, but the two infinities are of the same order of magnitude (called a countable or listable infinity). The mathematical designation for the kind of infinity that the integers have is called aleph-null. There are also an infinite number of irrational numbers, but it's a "bigger" kind of infinity called C or the "power of the continuum." There's a relationship between aleph-null and a larger infinity called aleph-one. It's not known whether C and aleph-one are the same or not, and if they're not, we don't know which is bigger.

What set of numbers does -5 belongs?
Prime and odd numbers
What makes a number not prime or composite?
0 and 1 (and -1) are the only integers which are not prime nor composite. All non-integral numbers are also non-prime and non-composite. This is because the property is not defined for such numbers.
