In mathematics, nothing is beyond infinity.There are, in certain technical areas of mathematics there are various "measures" of infinity and so some "infinite" entities are greater than others, e.g. there are more irrational numbers than rational numbers.
The history of rational numbers goes way back to the beginning of historical times. It is believed that knowledge of rational number precedes history but no evidence of this survives today. The earliest evidence is in the Ancient Egyptian document the Kahun Papyrus. Ancient Greeks also worked on rational numbers as a part of their number theory. Euclid's elements dates to around 300 BC. Indian mathematicians also worked on rational numbers. This is documented in different texts but the most important is probably the Sthananga Sutra which dates back to around the second century BC.
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction. For example, the number 5 is a rational number because as a fraction it is 5/1. The number 0.5 is a rational number because as a fraction it is 1/2. The square root of 3 is not a rational number, as it can not be expressed as a simple fraction.

There are many common numbers in mathematics which are not rational. Two of the most important numbers in mathematics are pi and e: both are irrational.

In mathematics, a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction a/b of two integers, with the denominator b not equal to zero. Since all whole numbers are integers, all fractions made up of whole numbers will be rational.
This is told by Carl F. Gauss: "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences and number theory is the queen of mathematics." There are different types of numbers: prime numbers, composite numbers, real numbers, rational numbers, irrational numbers and so on. This study of numbers is included within the concept of maths and numbers and it is very important a study. Therefor number theory holds a greater importance too.
There are no consecutive rational numbers. Between any two rational numbers there are an infinity of rational numbers.
If there are no numbers after the 9 it is rational
